The following are some of the things I saw on yesterday’s hike up Muddisdale with my walking group.
Lambs arrive later in the spring this far north, so these are the first I’ve seen since leaving Kent last month. These twins were curious about us, but hied off to Mummy when we got too close. You can see the farmer’s mark on the little guy on the right – the lambs are given the same number as their mother to help with identification – sort of like what George Foreman did with his sons, naming them all George (although in that case, I would have to think that made identification harder, not easier). These two are called 64.
Snake’s head fritillary – I like the name almost as much as I like the look of the flower.
A local artist made this Chevrolet truck entirely out of stone. I believe an American offered to purchase it and have it shipped home, but the artist declined. It’s full scale. I believe he has also made a full scale stone Orkney Chair.
