What I did not show you then was the bank of wildflowers blooming beside the brand new road junction - the Balmedie turn-off from the recently upgraded A90.
Gail insisted on finding a place to stop and tried to get me to "pose nicely" amid the poppies.
In all honesty I wasn't too keen. What you can't see on these photos is the proximity of a busy road with lots of heavy lorries thundering past. Also, the bank is rather steep, thus not a comfortable posing perch.
But I'll admit I too was impressed by the colourful display covering this recently disturbed ground. I do suspect that someone might have given 'nature' a helping hand here with a generous sprinkling of wildflower seeds.
Happy Nature Friday folks! And once again a huge thank you to our wonderful friends, the LLB Gang, for hosting the blog hop.
that was a super post to welcome summer... and we hope summer appears here too now ;O)
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty poppies!
ReplyDeleteYou look very handsome amongst those pretty wild flowers, Bertie. Poppies are my human's favourites, along with sunflowers.
