The colours of a spring woodland walk today

Not the first #butterfly of the season, that was a couple of weekends ago, but the first to land in a convenient place in front of my phone which, in this day and age, is often all that matters ðð
The green shoots of this year poking through the brown remnants of last year ðĶ
A lovely view from Alva Glen, once the short climb out of the gorge is complete. Although it was a hazy day you can see all the way to the winding #forth in the distance beyond the plains and Alloa.
A super little walk, easy parking, sculpture trail and informative boards about the heritage of the area.... more details here

The Alva Glen is a steep-sided cleft scored in the southern front of the Ochils range. This short walk up it follows a dramatic path, easy at first, which climbs up into this ravine. The upper part involves a steep ascent with precipitous slopes and ends at a viewpoint overlooking the Smuggler's Cave in the floor of the gorge.

I saw the lone black swan swimming against the flow of white swans... ðĶĒ
You can project your own answers ð Strong-willed? Independent spirit? Segregation? Isolation?
Or something more mundane... ðĪð

Careful where you're standing, pooch ð ðļ
A toad on the road, gets a quick sniff, but the dog has never met one before and doesn't seem to have a frame of reference for them, so both happily shuffle on ð

An amazing sight today as an eagle landed on a tree near the forest track just ahead of us and was harassed by the local corvid population. It stood its ground (well, branch).
As usual, dog lead in one hand, phone in the other so, you know....not the best photo... You'll have to use your imagination to fill in the rest ð
...Whenever I remember to take the camera and telephoto lens I see nothing like this ðĪ·ââïļð
