Duthie Park
Went to Duthie Park yesterday, took lots of pictures (800 or so, not posting them all here, don't worry people on dial up ;) ). Very nice park, with The David Welch Winter Gardens full of various flowers and huge cacti.
Love the pink colours, even though the camera did make anything red or pink a lot more vivid than it was in person.
One day I will have a hanging basket full of these. Just gorgeous.
Some of the cacti. Huge and prickly (I probably could make some kind of crude joke about that, but I will refrain).
Not sure exactly what kind of flower this is, but took lots of photos of them to draw.
And this huge fat koi fish kept pushing the other fish out of the way and there wasn't any food to eat. He seemed to just like picking on the little fish.
View of the North Sea and Stonehaven taken on the drive back. You can kind of see Dunnottar Castle in the distance (I think that is the right one) . Its in ruins, but would still like to go one day.

I was looking through the links, and about lost my breath laughing at the 'whack-a-haggis' game.
ReplyDeleteI also went into the links somehow (can't find it now) where there was a pic of the cactus with a man standing near them, as a size comparison. Those cactus are big and, well, prickly!
The cacti were huge, would look really nice in the back garden though :p
