I spent the afternoon building this little sheeple.
So afterwards, I took the dogs out for a run. We went to Clothie – the five acre croft that is a little walk across the scattald (open hill).
The field has not been grazed since spring, I think, so the grass and flowers have gone mad growing.
It is stunning and we enjoyed walking/running around.
There are flowers everywhere.
Red Clover
Marsh Thistle
Selfheal
Bog Asphodel
Common Cotton-Grass wet from the rain
Marsh Lousewort
And these are “Dockens” or Docks
If I have any plant identifications wrong (which I probably have), please let me know soonest so I can correct any errors.
