We travelled in Scotland at the height of bluebell season. There were bright yellow gorse and broom everywhere, as well as thyme. I kept humming old tunes like “the blue bells of Scotland” and “wild mountain thyme”. Heather was abundant, but it blooms later in the summer. I hope you enjoy this tour of some wild and cultivated flowers we saw on our trip.
Beautiful – where about in Scotland Salley? Did you go to Isle of Skye by chance? Loved all of the beautiful country when we were there 2 years ago.
Yes, It’s beautiful. We were not on Skye during this trip, but I’ve been there before. To find out more about our trip, read my 2 previous posts: https://weefolkstudio.com/2015/06/23/scotland-june-2015-woods/ and https://weefolkstudio.com/2015/06/19/scotland-june-2015-doors/
Beautiful
And did you smell the gorse? It smells like coconut oil (suntan lotion)! Which is a bit strange to smell the beach when you are in damp and cold Scotland – which is where I discovered that.
Sandy in the UK
Yes, they did smell like coconut!
Lovely photos. What are the buildings Salley?
I’ve identified a couple. The buildings are somewhere in or near Edinburgh, Glasgow or the Highlands.
What a feast for the eyes. Just lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Salley, thankyou for all your posts, I enjoy them very much…
I love this glimpse of the land of my ancestors! So hope I can go someday. Such beauty in the buildings, the landscape and the flowers.
Each one is like an opening scene of a romantic love story. Beautiful 🙂
Salley, I am dazzled by your pictures and I am so greatly fond of the blue bells in front of the castle, plus the branch with the daisies and the bluebells!!! Thank you! Nancy Kennerud
