Gleaming

At first I thought someone had dumped a strip of shiny plastic in the ditch beside the road. Whatever it was shone brightly enough to catch my eye even though I wasn't looking, and I investigated. Turned out to be the rock that is so close to the surface everywhere in this area, glistening with water and perhaps a hint of slime in the afternoon sun.

Later I took a fairly chocolate-box photo of upper Glen Massan. But when I looked at today's little crop of pictures, the shining rock stole the show.
