Encounter

Today K left early to spend the weekend in London with L, and A left slightly later to spend a week with friends up in the far north of Scotland. Hence I'm alone on dog-walking duty. We started well, with a three-and-a-half hour outing from the house, up Scald Law and then back via South Black Hill and the Estate. I bumped into a colleague who was out running, and we chatted as we walked strongly up Scald Law. I left him to run on, but then cut a corner and took this "action" photo. The Estate was busy, but my search for mushrooms was fruitless.
