Loch Lomand and the Trossachs

The day couldn't have been better with clear skies and sunshine.  Our friends took us for a drive up to Loch Lomand and through the Trossachs National Park. Tall fir trees are everywhere and the luchness of the vegetation just gave so many shades of green.
Overnight the temperature had dropped quite low and there had been a dusting of snow on the mountain tops making them look as though they were dusted with icing sugar. So pretty.  We visited the conservation village of Luss where all the buildings are from the 1700's. Quaint little buildings and narrow lanes as streets entice with cafes etc .
We were also on the lookout for deer as we drove back through the park later in the day and sure enough we saw 3 that had come down for the new shoots  but of course not too close to those humans.
We are certainly seeing some beautiful scenery and keeping warm despite the wind. The cameras are getting a strong workout but you have to see it firsthand as words cannot describe it properly.
