Mostly Green Things

Monsters?

A few weekends ago I visited some dear friends in Dumfries and Galloway. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, so a walk through one of the many forests was called for. I had a "Ooh all the plants are so lovely" day and went a bit snap happy with my camera. There were some weird plants though! A copse of monkey puzzles and millions of skunk cabbages. Who would of thought you could find those in D & G.

Jaggy!

Almost tropical!

Very straight trees

A skunk cabbage. Smelly!

As if a cabbage isn't smelly enough without adding the skunk bit! Once again you have produced brill photos - there are even a couple which have given me some writing inspiration...
Thanks! I love your blog and check every day to see if you have added any new pics. See you soon.xx
