Early Spring Sky, Parish of Bourtie

I am beginning to think I have already seen a greater 'acreage' of blue sky over Aberdeenshire since the start of 2015 than I sometimes see from here in an entire year.

I'm not complaining: one could live in a land where blue skies every day were the norm, yet have to worry all the time about the heat, the flies and the risk of sunburn.

Today's view was taken this morning close to Oldmill, looking eastward over the Hill of Crimond, in the southern part of Bourtie Parish close to the B993 east of Keith Hall.
