Dalkeith Country Park
Beautiful sunshine today for our walk in Dalkeith Country Park. We visit at this time of year, every year as the bluebells are so lovely
The wild garlic was also beautifully in bloom
and the dandelions are seeding
The park is a Site of Special Scientific Interest for it's lichens, including these
The ancient oak trees are always a highlight of the visit, whatever the time of year
We saw several speckled wood butterflies but only this one allowed us to get close enough to take a photo
We also saw a few solitary bees and their little holes
This larger hole belongs to a bunny
The ancient oak trees are always a highlight of the visit, whatever the time of year
Beautiful green and peaceful spot -- bluebells make it even more special. Amazing shot of the butterfly -- small ones never ever hold still for me.
