Final Hill Walk

Bracken

We spent the day hill walking with a couple we are friends with; it was our last hill walk prior to returning to the US. The weather was perfectly Scottish:  cool, mixed clouds and sun, windy, no humidity, threatening rain but it didn't.

And, since it is the end of summer, the bracken is abundant, thick, and tall. See photo of Beth navigating through a section so thick and tall that it was difficult to see where to place your feet and which direction to go in. Bracken is a stiff fern-like plant that thrives in the sun (ferns are supple shade-loving plants). We had dinner in a nice old village restaurant near the end of the walk Fun stuff.
