Continuing Freeze

I went for a walk on the skis from the house,down by Sandy`s duck pond,across the railway line and across theA9 bridge before going down to the S bank of the Spey. The difficulty of progressing in the deep powdery snow,coupled with problems with a binding made me think of going home despite the fine ,bright cold day. It was a total delight ,though, to be able to go on to the Spey and escape the deep stuff. Here the snow was only a few inches deep and hopefullythe ice had a little more depth. Anyway, I was able to slide down to the Tromie before encountering the first real open water in a couple of miles! here are a flock of greylags at the -Tromie confluence

This is on the way backup river.

Home again, and a view, kind of, from the upstairs window.

Happy New Year!
