herald of spring*

After yesterday's excitement, a day spent close to home. Jess and I had a nice walk down by the Auld Water at Routin Brig, which is only a few hundred yards from our house so I feel very fortunate. We didn't meet anybody, as usual. Jess had fun splashing about in the water while I took photos of these lovely wood anemones.

* The Wood anemone is named after the Greek wind god, Anemos, who sent his namesakes, the anemones, in early spring to herald his coming. This legend gives the flower its other common name of 'Windflower'.
