Although the snow has disappeared from lower levels nearer Loch Ness it is still lying on higher ground. Driving by one of the smaller lochs near Loch Ruthven, which has a famous RSPB Nature Reserve because of the breeding pairs of Slavonian Grebes, we noticed there was still thick ice on the surface especially by the waters edge.
The road actually skirts this smaller loch and we got out to stretch our legs and admire the view of the sunsetting on the frozen water strewn with rocks and branches.
This photo just cried out for an artistic black and white edit.
Loch Ness never freezes because of its great depth although there can be a layer of snow or frost on the wee beach a short stroll down from Aspenwood Cottage.
