As I have written before, it is that time of year again when I am flat out, nose to the grind stone. Last week saw me out paddling with clients in Loch Roag for four days, then two days of powerboat training and still trying to keep up with the office work. Saturday was mostly a write off as I spent it doing the accounts !

Today I managed to get out for a run on the moors out to the back of the village with Alex, it was pure pleasure although the pain of running just made the colours more vivid.

As you become familar with a place you start to notice the smaller things. The heather is starting bloom and the purples are, even in todays flat light, so vivid and in such a contrast to the browns and greens of the moor. The butter cups are out, looking like a yellow paint brush has been dappled across the crofts and this year there seems to be huge amounts of ‘bog cotton’ giving the appearance of patches of snow across the landscape.

After the paddling there are a few pictures (there were over two hundred before the edit) here a couple of the nice ones:
