Wood Walking
Spring is on it's way, here in Scotland. Although that may be a little bit of 'speaking too soon', because it is perfectly possible for snow to arrive tomorrow! It does feel like spring though. The days are longer and at last we have some sunlight.
I wanted to share some photos with you, from our walk on Sunday in Crombie Country Park.

Gorgeous photos Holler! And no snow. I envy you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning place to go for a Sunday walk Holler...not even a speck of snow...Spring is on it's way :D
ReplyDeletelovely countryside holler - hope you had something nice to nibble on and a good meal at the end of your walk :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's gorgeous. I'm glad you got some nice weather on Sunday, too. Still, I know you were disappointed that there were no SWANS. But perhaps you weren't near enough to a swanny type of pond though, hm? :)
ReplyDeleteSpring comes and you go for walks - I start cleaning the house!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI thing I see where I'm going wrong ;-))
No snow yet! But I think it is on it's way, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteHi Val, It was a lovely walk and my first visit to the park, I will definitely go back again!
I had a sandwich and some water with me Johanna, not very inspired I know!
Actually Tadmack, there were swans, but we just saw them in the distance, so I suppose that makes this 'Swanny Loch'.! You are dying to visit that pond, go on admit it!
Hi Lynn, you just have to get up early and do the housework first, however, this advice is being given by the hypocrite, who is sitting at the pc and having reading breaks, but should be finishing the housework!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so beautiful--and I am totally envious of the lack of snow!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. The weather is a bit unpredictable here as well--we had beautiful, 80 degree days, so I decided to plant all of my herbs and veggies last weekend (previously killed by the December cold). And this morning? 30 degrees. Argh!
ReplyDeleteBEautiful photos!! We don't have lots of big trees around here... so I enjoyed seeing these!
ReplyDeleteYou have some gorgeous views though Amanda!
ReplyDeleteOh this looks so very very much like our woods nearby, lovely of course:) Perhaps that's one of the reasons I feel so at home and comfortable in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteLook at those blue skies! Yes, spring for you is on it's way! I bet the air smelled very fresh!
ReplyDeleteHappy Leap Day!
All you need to do now is to collect some nettles... ;)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Holler! *so wishes spring was ready to bloom in her area, which is currently covered in about 5 inches of fresh snow*
ReplyDeleteHi Pia, aren't we lucky to have woods near us to walk in, there is just something special about it!
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, It was lovely and fresh and great to get a bit of fresh air and sunshine. Unfortunately it has all gone to pot and we have high winds and pelting rain just now!
Hi A forkful of spaghetti, I don't think I am up to nettles yet, I remember too many stings as a child, although there was always a dock leaf or two about to soothe the burn!
Hi Jenny, I think a lot of people are getting very sick of the snow at the moment! And just so we don't feel left out, the forecast here is for sleet and snow! I am glad I got a weekend of walks in the sunshine.
Oh, lovely. I can't wait to be able to walk outdoors here. We're still buried in snow... in fact, it's snowing now.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Glad you're getting out, despite the awful weather!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting these photos-- what a beautiful walk you had!
ReplyDeleteUm... regarding the next-to-the-last photo in the series... that's a statue of a heron-like bird, isn't it? Or are things so much larger in Scotland???

I hope the snow leaves you soon Mrs W!
ReplyDeleteThanks David, it wasn't a patch on Saturday though!
Hi Vicci, Don't be alarmed, it is a statue!
Great pics. I love that park. Love scaring the kids by telling them there are big cats in the woods -- which there might be! There could be anything in there. When we were there in the summer the paths were infested with tiny frogs. We had to watch every step to try to avoid crushing them. We always see something to surprise us at Crombie.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the tiny frogs! What a great photo that would make, with all the tree in the background!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! Nice to find your blog.
ReplyDeleteGood Job! :)
