A light northerly wind and sunshine almost all day, but the temperature only just managed to climb above zero. By late morning the sun had burnt away all last night's snow except any that lay in the shadows - like, here, in the lee of an old wall. We walked over Maol Buidhe and looked across the Sound to Caliach Point, on Mull, with Tiree almost lost under a snow shower.
Turning eastwards, the midday ferry from Tobermory was nearing Mingary Pier against a backdrop of snow on the hills of Morvern.
Later in the afternoon, walking back past the shop, we found two customers taking advantage of the weather by having a picnic at one of the outside tables while, further along the Ormsaigbeg shore, a heron enjoyed the last of the light in the company of an oystercatcher.
