Winter Birch.
The upper Findhorn valley, near Tomatin, on a day of cold winds and a flurry of snow on the tops.
This week has seen a constant cycle of rain and a few snow flurries, followed by frost, leaving everywhere covered in a layer of ice!
I liked how the tree and grasses caught the light, with the different shades in the sky coming out in black & white.

“Reality is not what it seems to be, nor is it otherwise.”
