Perhaps my friends can tell me how I am supposed to come up with a Nature Friday posts when it has been raining heavily in Aberdeen almost every day for the past two weeks, the riverside paths are flooded, woodland walks deemed too muddy and down by the sea you get blown off your paws.
And then on the one day this week when it finally stopped raining, all I got was a pre-dawn walk skirting the puddles in the park, before Gail headed off to meet her friends for what looked like a fun bike ride.
Oh, Gail has reminded me that she did take me for a sniff around Dunecht Estate and the sun put in a brief appearance. I guess this is the closest I'll get to a nature post this week...
I trust my friends will have more to show today than tussocks of soggy grass and trees bare of leaves...
Tussocks! I love that term!!
ReplyDeleteYou do have a nice extensive view from up there, Nobby. Lots of nature in that panorama, including a pretty sky!
we have such a muddy venice too... we want wellies... do you think satan can bring us some?
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame about the endless rain but when the sun comes out it's as though it's never been away. You look as if you're back to your normal colouring, Nobby.
ReplyDeleteOh Nobby, you look so forlorn and lost in the first two photos, but things certainly improve in the next ones. The walk around Dunecht Estate looks pretty enjoyable for a December day, and it had stopped raining - what more could you ask for? (That's apart from joining Gail on her fun bike rides!)

It is bone dry here but today we are supposed to get a rainstorm later. Rain is awful this time of year, it should be snow. Our weather is not making us happy at all either. Hope you get some dry weather soon.

ReplyDeleteWell, Nobby, the weather is a part of nature, so calling it out is perfectly valid! Typical that the sunny day happened on a Thursday, though, eh what?! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Nobby you and Gail might need a kayak. I did thoroughly enjoy the bike ride photos and your itty bitty brief stroll.
ReplyDeleteThe weather blabbers are threatening us with several inches of non stop rain Sunday. Same weather last Sunday we need the rain but not all in one day.
Hugs Cecilia
Sorry to hear you've had such a soggy time lately, Nobby. We hope your weather improves this week. Dunecht Estate looks like a nice place to get out and enjoy some nature.
ReplyDeleteWe had flooding rains last Sunday and it's happening again this weekend and into Monday. You do have lots of wetness, Nobby, and we do love the last pictures where you have blue skies and such a pretty place to explore.
ReplyDeleteI know you were glad to see the rain stop and the sun come out. all of this is real nature, just nature we don't care to be out in... sorry about soggy and staying home alone
ReplyDeleteWe think you did a great job Nobby!
ReplyDeleteRain is nature too, and that puddle in the first picture is very impressive!

It was a very wonderful nature picture. We are about to get all the rain here. It is going to make what is left of our snow (it has been as warm as 7C so there has been a lot of melting) disappear. We are wondering if we get a White Christmas. Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteSo much rain! We've had it too for the last weekends---no fair! But here we needed the rain but it wasn't SNOW that made us doubly disppointed!
