| The pale green lichen is very common on pine tree bark. Goff gave me a lift to the Coylumbridge Scottish Craft shop where Mrs Graham gave me 35/- for 2 osprey sketches. On the moor road we saw this horned sheep skull that someone had hung dramaticly overhanging the road on a silver birch branch. In the evening we went to Inverness . . . On the road back I noticed a Roe deer its eyes luminous in the headlights dark shape against a darker background. Driving through the woods of stout straight trunked pine in the silence of night was like driving through an organic Gothic cathedral. A viaduct as it materialized from the chaotic blackness seemed to be a row of pines. Wednesday morning I was on watch again. Chaffinches come to the bird table for biscuit crumbs. One cock bird attacked his reflection throwing himself at the glass. |
