Loch Lomond - in the sun! |
Our final day was spent on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch
Lomond. We didn’t stay just anywhere, in any village. No, we were at the hikers
delight, wishing we had planned at least 2 nights instead of only one. There
were far more trails available than we could ever take advantage of in a single
afternoon. (it wasn’t a quick place to get to either.)
We walked along various trails, around the lake, heading
part way up the mountain, snapping pictures, hiding under the trees in the rain
storms, and just relaxing. We had traditional NW weather…if you don’t like it
just way a few minutes, it’ll change. Raining one minute, beautiful sunshine
the next.
Our little bird... |
We had hoped to climb the mountain, Ben Lomond, but we
arrived in the early afternoon and between the rain and the concern about
darkness catching us, we stayed on the lower slopes. Still had a great chance
to get some pictures and visit with a number of people. You’ll see the variety
of skies – all taken on the same afternoon. Good thing we did because the next
morning all it did was rain buckets!
Had to include this little bird – he was just fearless,
hopping along in front of us, coming up right to Jeff’s leg, posing for us to
take LOTS of pictures of him.
