I've got blisters on the soles of my feet...

...but it was well worth it. My choice of footwear to go forest walking in was quite foolish to say the least but the weather held out and the whole forest park was buzzing with people. Loads of English and Scottish folk running about, along with a few of our continental friends. Anyway I got a few pics of my torturous but serene walk.











I never seen any of these animals





Apparently there's a pond underneath all these reeds and grasses.







Scawt Hill















Rowan Ash berries.



The long walk home. Carnfunnock in the distance.



Some funky volcanic rocks.

Great pics, as always! Thanks for sharing them! It looks like there is something on the walkway in one of the pics - what is that?

Thanks for posting those pics! Very nice, and yes I'm jealous.

Reminds me a bit of Scotland when I went over there! Though I hear Ireland is tough to compare with it's beauty.

Fantastic pictures! I want to go back out there again someday.

I borrowed my son's jewelry loupe and in the one photo I could see Dr Del across the water. He was waving.

Thanks folks. Today was the first day in a long time that it hasn't rained. We got to make the most of it when we can
