Winter Wonderland

This Saturday, the east of Scotland woke to a snowstorm. In our area, it was the kind of storm that was steady but not terrible, and where the flakes varied between large and enormous, coating the ground in two to three inches of fluffy white. Often here when it snows, it starts to disappear almost right away, but it has been so cold that by late afternoon almost nothing had melted. So despite feeling a bit under the weather, I ventured out and five minutes later remembered why I did: a snowy day walk in crisp air is perhaps the happiest of my happy places.
And so, rather than share with you my blog on another Highlands walk, I am instead sharing with you some of my favourite snowy pictures, mostly taken while on snowy day walks.
