My first walk of 2024
This is Morton Reservoir, East Calder, Livingston, from my first morning walk of 2024 with my son Colin (the author). We sat and admired this view for a while and soaked in the serenity.
May your 2024 be filled with health, wealth, joy and prosperity.

This Morning
I have not been out doing my normal jogging routine this week, rather I have been resting my knees which are not as young as they used to be. I have, however, gone out walking, and today I took my camera. I like to get out early and I have never seen anybody this week until this morning but more on that later.
Now just to set the scene, if something catches my eye I photograph it and over the years I have taken some interesting shots. Today I started my walk before 6am, I had to wait until it started to get light. The full moon was still bright in the sky.
I saw a brown smudge which turned out to be an alert wild roe deer watching me in the distance, that is the larger photo above, followed by a cropped and enlarged version, where you can see it better.
Then there were two.
I will just attach a selection pf photos from here without explanation. I will though touch upon the 'seeing no-one' except for today. I was walking along the path caught in the serenity of the early morning silence and the beauty of my surroundings when I heard a voice behind me. I looked around and saw a man walking his dog and as he got closer I could see and hear he was talking on his phone oblivious to what was going on around him. I wasn't eavesdropping but it was impossible not to hear his, at times, colourful language on the subject of a football (soccer) match. His wee dog was lovely and he managed a very quick response to my "Good Morning"!
