A Misty Murky Morning

Very mild and very still. A very gentle day, so we had a walk through Tilberthwaite to Little Langdale and back to Coniston via Stang End and Hodge Close. It was too misty for any landscape photography, but we did see a lot of herdwicks and we both remarked onhow particularly curious they looked today. They always have nice smiley faces and often look at you like they didn't expect you to be there, but today that seemed very pronounced. Or has it just been a very long winter? Well it's coming to an end with snowdrops, daffodils and crocuses everywhere. We saw celendine today and the very tiny little red flower that grows on the hazel tree at catkin time.
