There isn’t a direct road between Hatton and Turriff.  You have to take a trip along country roads, through Old Deer, New Deer and Cuminestown, to mention but a few.   I had to make a trip to Turriff this morning and I really enjoyed the drive in the spring sunshine.

There in the distance was the familiar shape of Bennachie;  large wind turbines offered an interesting subject, especially with a crow posing on the fence for me;  but best of all was the small group of alpacas.  These wonderful creatures were as interested in me as I was in them.  They watched every move with the camera, perhaps suggesting, “I think this is my best side.”
