It has rained a lot over the past day and the flowers and grasses on Corstorphine HIll look lovely covered in raindrops - not just the dog roses
but also the gorse
the wood avens fruiting heads
cocksfoot
and other grasses
Needless to say the slugs and snails are loving this weather
The foxgloves are brightly blooming
the first beech nuts are forming
and we found this lovely red legged shield bug
The foxgloves look beautiful! Rain means toads for us and also loud sleepless nights! I love the distinct colours!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. I love rain.Even here it is raining and the scenario is just stupendous! Also, I loved the rose.
ReplyDeleteSend us here in the Pacific NW some of that! Blistering hot (100 + F.) which is too much for us moss backs. Be another two or so days and then a bit cooler but so dry ...
ReplyDeleteThe whole idea of rain makes me envious! It's very hot and dry here (as RG says above -- I am in the same part of the US.)(
ReplyDeleteHi Maya, rain brings out the toads here too!
ReplyDeleteVanya - thanks
RG and Sallie - I'd happily send you some of our rain. I love rain but we've had too much here this year
