Flora Week - Scotland Edition .3 / by Dave Hileman

A walk in the woods along the shore of Loch Ness. This was a wonderful, easy trail with lots of flowering shrubs and views of the loch. But what we liked best was a quiet side trail that led to the rocky shore with an old fallen log where we spent most of an hour just enjoying the sounds, the quiet, the breeze and each other. Plus, we were heading back to ice cream!

We also met and chatted briefly with a young couple hiking the path and he said that one year ago (on the day we met them) it snowed a bit. So we were grateful for 72 and blue skies and not 37 and snow.
