OK, technically there is a little bit of snow, and it was a tad crispy underfoot. But these were taken this morning when the whole country was supposed to be, er, crippled by wintry outbursts.
No one told the area around Killearn, Queen's View and Loch Lomond. Glorious sunshine and a light breeze there.
I took the chance for a Monday morning skive with Fionaoutdoors, whom first met so long ago there weren't even any blogs. She was with Smirnieoutdoors and her other half Fiona, whom I'd only ever met online. Once again I was delighted to find that people I like online are every bit as lovely in the flesh.
And, yes, there are four photos but I couldn't decide which was best so you've got them all.
Incidentally, when I got home I discovered that today is Blue Monday - the most depressing day of the year. It must be something of a good omen that serendipitously the potentially most gloomy of days was spent walking in the good company and sunshine.
