Purple & Ginger
Two colours that seem to go well together. This was on the way out of Glen Avon, heading back down-valley to Tomintoul from Inchrory. There were 9 of these bonny beasts all just lying in the sun, amongst the heather. I've never seen them be anything but dossile creatures, but I was a bit wary as the one with the horns was a bit inquisitive.

No story with this one, just a thought: I couldn't see where the road was going to take me, but I could see that I'd enjoy the journey.
