Scald Law and South Black Hill from the Font Stone, Pentland Hills

First lambs... spring is here!
They are challenging beasties to photograph... they won't stay still - pinging around all over the place!
Manor Valley, Scottish Borders. Larch trees
Monday afternoon and an exotic location deep in the Border Hills 
Carnethy Hill, Pentland Hills
Taken from the summit, looking to South Black Hill and Scald Law, the latter is the highest point on the Pentland Hills!
Looking south from the slopes of South Black Hill
The wandering photographer has climbed halfway up the hill... he stops for a breather... I mean to take a photograph!
Looking from the Pentland Hills to the Moorfoot Hills, Auchencorth Moss between
When the air is still, cold air sinks to the lower ground, the moor between the hills is -6C. On the hillsides it is only -3C! Warmer climes indeed!Silverburn
A tree at the foot of the Pentland Hills. Hmmm not as frozen here.. is it slightly warmer? - yes! The clever wandering photographer knows his patch!
Auchencorth Moss
The inhabitants were decidedly chilly... and so was the wandering photographer! He decided to travel to a warmer clime!

Present and fossilized ripples
This image is special. In the one image you can see ripples forming today AND similar ripples that formed 300 Million Years ago and are now fossilized as hard rock.300 Million year old ripples - now fossilized
Both of these formed 300 million years ago under the same processes that are forming the modern ripples today... 'The present is the key to the past' ....Charles LyellThe flight of the Heron
The trip ended with this omen for the wandering photographer... time for lunch!Looking back to Scald Law
After the jog over and down Carnethy in typical bleak conditions... the sun started to come out...!
Carnethy from Scald Law
Scald Law is the highest point on the Pentland Hills, Carnethy which is next highest is a quick jog away
Auchencorth Moss
The wandering photographer exerted himself this morning and climbed the Pentland Hills. A spectacular effort for a bleak image from the summit of South Black Hill looking down towards Auchencorth Moss in the distanceSaturday, 16 February 2008
Statue of a Druid, Penicuik House
Well, I've been standing here a long time and I still can't think what I was going to say!

Auchencorth Moss
End of the day - with great relief as planning permission to build a huge wind farm on this site was turned down by Midlothian Council. To see what it would have looked like http://www.auchencorth.org.uk/news.html ... it would have been somewhat limiting for the wandering photographer!

Talla
The day draws to a close. The low sun casts the valley into deep shadow, the temperature drops... time to go home...
Sunday afternoon
A cold damp haar rolled in across the moor from the sea. The sun strained to be seen
Sunday morning
Forever active, the farmer moved the sheep - they trailed through the wood staring at the wandering photographer as they passed onto the open moor

Harbour night
This was a long exposure six seconds, so there was some movement of the boats due to the swell

Lime kiln, the second kiln
By this time it was raining. It was very windy and the rain was quite horizontal!
Lime kiln
A few miles on the back road are some old lime kilns. This is one of them. Yesterday's snow has gone completely!
