If you go down to the woods today......

You will see a hooded figure and a ghostly face on a tree trunk!!!

Woooooooooooooooooo............

Marion was at ours for Alan getting home from school today, which meant I had some freedom after work to spend some time taking photographs.

Went to Dobbies first though to buy mugs with our names on them for Ele and me, for no reason other than being tickled by the thought of us drinking tea together out of our named mugs! I am such a child sometimes!

Once purchased said mugs, headed down to the Colzium Estate thinking I would photograph my favourite trees again, but the shots were just too samey. Need to wait until the trees are properly in bud.

At the far end of the trees there's a muddy path that leads to Banton Loch so I stopped and took a couple of throwaway shots then concentrated on the bundles of cheery daffodils that were all around. Oh it was just so lovely to spend some time in my own company safe in the knowledge that Alan was being well looked after and I didn't have to be at a set place at a set time.

Got home about 5pm and despite thinking that as David was going out straight from work I would have the whole evening ahead and would get lots done, including spending time sorting my photos and blipping early evening, here I am just getting round to it! Sometimes the more time you have, the less gets done! Or maybe that's just me! :-))

So, after reviewing all my shots, none of which were that great, despite me having time to think about what I was doing - Grrrrrrrrrrr!!, I have chosen one of the two woodland shots, as on closer inspection there appears to be an eerie hooded figure and a creepy face on a tree trunk. Can you spot the face?? :-))

Behind with commenting again....sorry......time just seems to disappear at the moment.

On a cheerier front....Wednesday tomorrow....almost the weekend! :D

P.S. Can't let today go by without remembering the children and their teacher who were shot dead 16 years ago today in Dunblane. I remember it so vividly. I was pregnant with Alan and as I sat watching the evening news in utter shock and disbelief, I felt Alan kick properly for the first time. It was in that moment I learned just how truly precious life is.
