Don't be a wimp..

Welcome to Nature Friday, hosted by our dear friends Arty, Jakey and Rosy.

Look, just 'cos it's grey, windy and cold, that's no reason not to join me on a nature walk in NE Scotland today. We even have a two hour weather window this afternoon, when it's not actually raining...

Come on, don't be a wimp!

As we make our way together along the low cliff path just south of Aberdeen, we can lose ourselves in contemplation of the ever changing seascape, and marvel at the power of the waves to sculpt the +500 million year old metamorphic rocks into a jumble of weird and wonderful forms.

Perhaps you can just spot the clump of little white flowers on the cliff top behind me? The plant is called 'scurvy grass'. In days of old, sailors ate the leaves, now known to be rich in vitamin C, to protect against that horrid disease.

I myself am deaf to the call of the ocean, much preferring to stay with all four paws planted firmly on dry land.

Time now to visit the other Nature Friday blogs and see what delights our friends have in store for us today!
