One of the Locals...

Was forced to sit and look at this Scots PIne while I had my lunch to-day... I hope this entitles me to some sympathy... The colours are amazing in this high valley. The bracken has been crushed down with the snow and the pine needles are mixed in, add to that every shade of cream through to dark wine in the mosses and this is what you end up with... Every tree in this grove had it`s own unusual shape and character, not like those boreing blocks of Spruce that you generally see. These trees are part of the original forrests of Scotland.... P.S. I feel these tree have almost a human feel to them, they seem to reach out at you....
