Title: Spring Greens

Another shot taken during my daily one hour walk, but this time from Loch Slapin on Skye (pronounced locally as Slappin').

I must admit Eric that I cheated here a little, as this location is about a 20 minute drive from my house, but I do believe driving a very short distance to a point where you are going to do your exercise is OK, so no rules broken hopefully. But I have tried to stay much closer to home during the lock down, but for this shot, I just needed to go a little further to remind myself what I am missing sort of thing - anyway here is a link to the Google map view of where I took the shot and you can even see the little tree I focussed on when I took it - enjoy  ;)  CLICK HERE!

Thanks everyone for your kind words and comments and as the weather up here was really perfect for photography today, we decided to go for yet another walk all around the shores of Loch Slapin, and this scene still looked almost exactly as it did on the day when I took the shot shown above, although the garish spring green tones have now started to calm down a little.
