Woodburn

To loose weight a walk over the paddock and along the hillside toward a pine tree copse, I though the entire area was fenced off for pheasants, but this is only partially so.

Took out my Olympus Sp-810uz camera, as my IPhone 14 was out of battery power; the picture above appears to have focused on the grass rather than the Cheviot sheep.

The above shot appears better, more focus on the sheep than the grass below; the day was crisp cold and clear bright sky, today's pictures were taken around two o'clock in the afternoon.

There are many work men about at work throughout the valley, fixing telephone cables. Neighbour said he recorded -10c outside his house during the early hours of this morning.

First successful panoramic picture I have taken with this camera, viewed is the Borthwick valley, in-between Roberton and Craik. Wooded area to the left is Woodburn, right is Borthwick Brae.

Strange how hyper-vigilance magnifies the slightest noise into a shuddering bang, and renders every presence nearby a threat. I can't help wondering what this telecom guy was doing.

Look who got caught up inside the ring feeder, twice in three days; this is not good for this Herdwick, considering she's in lamb.
