common_natureA while back (in..umm...May) I went on a wee day trip to Inchmahome Priory, which is a ruined priory on an island in the middle of Lake of Mentieth. I finally got round to do doing a photo post of the trip and thought you guys might appreciate some of the more nature based stuff that I saw.
A solitary Canada Goose had taken up residence on the lawn and seemed to be helping the staff police the place.
The occupants of the boat I arrived on had cheerful banter with the boat driver about what the goose might do to us if we tried to avoid buying a ticket...
The air is really clear on the island so there's some serious lichen on the trees and walls.
There were three massive old trees at a crossroads on the path around the island. Due to my visit being now five months ago I've forgotten what species of trees they were but they were majestic, my dad got great some shots of the one that came down in a storm that looks like its escaped from Alice in Wonderland or Pan's Labyrinth.
And for unknown reasons all the trees in Mary's Bower (named after the young princess when she visited) are numbered with these little tabs.
