Near the summit of An Sgarsoch now, it is within sight. An Sgarsoch translates as 'The Place of the Sharp Rocks' and I guess this is why it is so named. With all the climbing we've done today my legs are starting to cramp, but one final push as it levels out and we're there ..
Very sad to learn that Steve Watkins, editor of Outdoor Photography, passed away recently. This photo appears in this coming month's Outdoor Photography and his email congratulating me on it came just a couple of weeks before he passed away. His email was full of his warm words of support and encouragement. Although I never met him, Steve will be missed by me and I'm sure many others.

Winter is a difficult time for the-Birds of Pray-those who rely on Vols and other sources of food. The snow makes it difficult to pray on them when they generally travel under the snow.

I have to say that in addition to being literally sharp, I also find this antique, beautifully crafted J.A. Henckels Friodur jack knife to be very sharp looking. It has been handed down through our family over the years and I have it displayed on a table with family photos and memorabilia.

I'd been wondering why I haven't had any birds at my feeders for the last few days. Then I saw this beautiful little guy perched in the feeder tree. I would assume that it was a male as it appeared very small - about Kestrel size. This is the first one I have noted in my yard and I hope he comes back from time to time but not take up permanent residence here.
