Today's flower is the common dog violet, Viola riviniana. Apart from a greener and more wooded area in the north of Colonsay, most of the island's land mass is moorland and rock. The dog violet can be seen as tiny pinpricks of colour in amongst the buff coloured grassland. Often there is just one little flower. Modest, and completely delightful.
There have been some cracking early morning skies this week. The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds. Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.

Very sweet splash of colour against a natural back drop!
