Spot the Dinosaur

 No, not the old git on the bike; the other one:


Oh it's been a fine day to get the wheels turning, if a little chilly. Three degrees the weather app said, adding 'feels like 1'.  It wasn't wrong though it probably warmed up another one or two degrees by the time I returned.

Through the woods, the sun failing to rise above the ripe timber, it was certainly on the cool side.  However the point was to ease in those muscles brought out of hibernation yesterday.  Get some miles in the legs.  Even if they were slow ones.

And taking the camera along, meant an excuse to stop, though I left that until the final leg, over Cullen's viaducts.

I'd done some finger exercises earlier in the morning, involving keys and buttons and bellows.  Now there's a project for the Great Retiral Plans.  Trying to get different fingers on opposing hands to do things in harmony might be a challenge.  It might become a bit Rab Bruce's Spider.  Perseverance; at least whilst there's no one around to complain.

Anyway, best just to concentrate on the shutter finger, and the sunshine, for now











And with the sun still gracing the day I might just head out on foot, re-trace some of those steps.  Bow Fiddle Rock; Jenny's Well, then along the shore to the 9th Green.  But not as far as The Dinosaur.  Did you find him?
