One from earlier this week. Glen Shieldaig, Loch Dughaill, Loch Shieldaig, and in the far distance the hills on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. (Note the new deer fencing... this area is due to get 300,000 native trees planted by the Woodland Trust).

After a long dry spell, we finally have some weather moving in. I read that in Jan we had just 18% of the usual rainfall total here. It seems to have rained (too much) pretty much everywhere but here.

I was looking through a bunch of photos of January's snowfall that I hadn't yet posted. Came across this one of Shieldaig Island. You can clearly see more snow heading in from the north. Taken four weeks ago today.
