And willows, willow-herb and grass ...


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!
