The river bank just downstream from the Bridge of Dee always looks appealing, but Gail hadn't taken me there before this week, deeming the path too boggy.
"Too boggy"? Is that really a thing?
Well what with all the recent warm dry weather here Aberdeen, she finally relented.
So Gail happily photographed the flowers and trees, while murmuring to herself lines from the third verse of one of her favourite English poems*...
"And willows, willow-herb and grass,
And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry..."
....And yours truly got down to the serious business of the morning.
Happy Nature Friday friends!

Aaww Nobby - the small humans might be put off by that. My bones are a bit old to bounce at the small humans these days so I am gracious to a point and then try to slither away from the over-attention. Maybe I should try rolling in something smelly.... paw smacks Mr T
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are just gorgeous! Oops - it looks like you got a little bit too close to the mud, Nobby.
ReplyDeletethe new title of the this post should be, Nobby Goes Back to Nature! LOVE that ending photo, if there is a bog, you will find it. I got a good laugh out loud moment at the end. The flowers are spectacular!!! what a gorgeous place to visit
ReplyDeleteOh, Nobby, are in you in the "dog house" again?
