A peaceful landscape with a reflective body of water, rocky grass-covered banks, and a distant snow-capped mountain under a blue sky with white clouds.

Greenside again. Bright sun to start, a strong gusty wind, dulled down after half an hour. A small tortoiseshell sunning at the side of the track, flew away quickly so no picture. First butterfly of the year. A month earlier than last year. First coltsfoot out too. Ravens enjoying the wind.
