Austria? The Italian Lakes??
Posted: Thursday, 24 January 2008 |
The Alps?
The Pyrenees (?spelling?)
The Dolomites?
The Cairngorms?
No - it was Mull and across the Sound to the Mainland to the Morvern Hills - not much snow on the low ground but enough to dust the tops of the mountains - lots of hail storms today which gave the impression of snow at low ground - like millions of frozen white ball bearings - very strange. My crocuses photographed on Monday are now gone - just as well I took the snap when I did - I guess they made a tasty meal for someone! As I write this, the wind is gusting and is quite scary - feels like the house could fly away - visions of Dorothy in "Over the Rainbow" when the house disappears in a tornado or is it a cyclone (of course the Judy Garland version). Hope it is calmer where you are!

Nice pics. Looks quite scenic and not forbidding. I assume they make for nice hikes, at least in milder weather. Thanks. # Sorry about the crocuses. Rabbits?

Hi MJC - great hiking country but as you say, in milder, kinder weather - the crocuses were probably eaten by blackbirds - will have to send out a spy!

Lovely photos! The views of Scotland vary as widely as the accents, which is a great thing. The wonderous bens and glens, intermingles with lochs and sea... Scotland truly is a beauty.

Lovely, WF. I've seen snow on top of Ben More in May! I hope the wind's died down by now. I'm sure your house will be OK - they build them tough on the Island. The hotel we go to in Tob has walls that are about 18" thick - I love the old solid cottages. Keep the pics coming - it's almost a month since I was on Mull and I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.

I see Mull is an overall exporter of icing sugar
