A "knavish sprite"?

From Tuesday: 

Now Nobby, our dear friend YAM-aunty has suggested we go for a walk in Puck's Glen today. I think that sounds just the perfect place for you.

The perfect place for me? How so Gail? 

Surely you've heard of Puck from Midsummer Night's Dream? The "shrewd and knavish sprite". He causes all sorts of mayhem. A kindred spirit, I would contend. 

Gail, you are teasing me aren't you? Is it a nice place for a hike?

Well let's go and see. 

Ooh look, a steep, rocky ravine in a dark and enchanted forest!

Rocks all emerald with moss and ferns! 

Waterfalls galore! 

A fun footbridge to peer over (and alarm Gail, just a tiny bit)! 

And finally, a glimpse of some winter sunshine at the top. Truly magical! 

Gosh thanks YAM-aunty, that was a grrrrreat recommendation! 

We hope all our Nature Friday friends enjoyed the hike too.

    Well, Nobby, there is no denying, you got to see more of the place than I ever did! I thank you and Gail for recording this beautiful spot and sharing it with the world; I am really very lucky to live in a spot where the possibility of magic (or mischief) might reign... Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  4. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh YAM-Aunty knows you and Mom well. What perfect descriptions of that magical place for all kinds of magical characters, gnomes, fairies, and elves.
    You are a luck ducky that Gail was not so very inspired she thought of changing your name to Puck.
    Hugs Cecilia

  5. What a beautiful place Nobby. I wonder if my human would take me up there. Were you not disappointed though that there didn't appear to be any bogs to wallow in? paw smacks Mr T

    1. Fear not Mr T, there's no shortage of other options for delightfully boggy walks in Scotland!

  13. Aunty-Yam knows the best places to walk. We met her and our people visited her and we know she will get over the chewed hat. You look very comfy with her. Did you see Puck on your walk? Lee and Phod

  14. What a charming spot - it reminds me Wales, but them lost of Scotland does that. On my blog you used the word 'frolic' - loved that and shall use it from now on. 'Shall we go for a frolic Oscar...' ha ha. Perhaps we are 'dogafrolics..'
