Weather Vain

I took my husband out to Cousland to show him the wee Scottish village that I discovered on the weekend! I liked the images on the weather vain at the smiddy. They reminded me of the graphics in a book I read recently called 'The Book of Lost Things'. My husband is now reading this book. The story is about a boy who becomes immersed in books and fairy tales. The author has taken fairy tales and put his own twist on them. One character that is quite prominent in the book is the Crooked Man who resembles the figure in the foreground of this photo. Foxes, wolves and creatures that are half man half wolf feature in this book as well.
