Spring (Summer) has arrived in Caithness

This post is sort of a sham or at the very least a shameless show of some of my favorite flower photos - also my mom said, oh Dy, you have to send these to my sisters...sigh...

Fact: Dave, Charles and I are all camera freaks.  We took hundreds (thousands) of photos together and then passed them around to one another going hmm, ooh, like that...  

Spring really has sprung in Caithness. We've also had amazing weather.  We also have approximately 18+ hours of daylight a day right now.

All of these factors meant there were lots of things to take photos of and that the sites we went to experienced radical change in the 6-7 days between my two visits.

Wild flowers at Whaligoe - ooh purple pollen

At Whaligoe, there was a whole different set of wildflowers out when I went with mom and dad versus Dave and Charlie.  Also, there was no seaweed in the water the first visit, but with mom and dad, it was like a seaweed forest in the water.

Chives at Castle Mey

Biggest tulips EVER at Dunrobin castle.

The rhubarb was pretty big too.  This picture is a bit like Alice in Wonderland to me.

Brother with Giant Rhubarb

With everything in bloom, it was sometimes difficult to know where to look.  I feel pretty lucky that I got to go to these sites twice in a short period of time
