When all your thoughts are with spring and the forthcoming summer, here is a shot to upset those dreams which I took last week in Assynt. In my opinion, there is nothing more beautiful than the Scottish mountains snow-covered, so it had to be uploaded!
Thanks for your comments and for any criticisms and, as usual, for looking.
Have a good weekend.

Looks like you had a fair bit of snow in Assynt last week. I don't recognise this bothy so would be very interested to know where it is.

Ann, I literally gasped when I saw this shot. It is wall worthy -- so perfectly composed. And -- perfect exposure -- so difficult to do with sun on snow.

How much I agree with your own intro up top, Ann: and your shot bears up all you have said.
Fine winter composition from 'the far north'.

Cul Mor is actually behind me here but I imagine it's the bothy you're thinking of at Elphin.

I am so glad you uploaded this, Ann, 'cos it's gorgeous! Not just the beautifulness of the snow but that warm cosy-looking cabin there too Smile

Ok...the caterpillar's pupa...I reckon it might be Wednesdayish before something emerges. That's partly wishful thinking on my part as well as an estimate Grin

Spot on exposure, arresting composition, and I have never been lucky enough to see that much snow in Scotland, save a the tops of the higher hills. Always visited at the wrong time of year.

that is a stunning scenery indeed. the wee croft makes it so attractive as it enhances the contrast.
TBH, I had enough snow for this year with bursting pipes etc. but then you had a nicer scenery to go with it
