A cold and icy day so a nice circular walk along the banks of the Water of Minnoch.
Snowy logs
Icicle
Ice patterns

Snow lined path
Icicles over the water
Frozen water droplets

More ice
Reflected rushes
Sparkling trees
Ancient woodland

Mist
Metallic ice
Looking for merks in the kist
Moss covered wall
Stone stile
Sticta sylvatica
Icicles
Usnea subfloridana
New Cree Valley sign
Snow scene
Ice and snow
Walking the embankment
Dipper..
..and a bit closer
Don’t look round but I think we are being followed!
…by a whole flock!
Bird of prey kill
Sphaerophorus globosus
Tumbling water
Water of Minnoch
Moss covered tree
The swinging pool
The Roman Bridge
Swirling bubbles
Then on our way back home just as it was getting dark an amazing starling murmuration over Stranraer Harbour….

Amazing photos photos of the starlings. Would love to have been there!
Dear Valerie, we have just discovered your blog and I think that your photography is fantastic, especially the starling murmurations ! I write a blog called Sally of Forest Gate on www.davidnashleather.blogspot.com and you will see a few that feature Dumfries and Galloway !
Kind Regards, David Nash.
