Natural Connections

Modern life in Scotland is increasingly busy. The connections our ancestors had with nature and the land are being lost. As leisure time shrinks, or is filled with hi-tech experiences, opportunities to experience nature become fewer. And yet it is possible to connect with nature on a day to day basis. All around us, the great web of life continues to hold its shape, and nature continues its eternal cycles. Keep looking, listening, smelling, touching - and keep experiencing natural connections.

Visited Glen Moss at Kilmacolm this evening. It really is a marvelous site. The moss nestles in a fold in the hills and has the feel of a lost world, so different is it from the village half a mile away. Much of the vegetation is sphagnum, rushes and Cotton Grass. Also some patches of Devil's Bit Scabious and withering Bog Ashphodel (looking quite different without its familiar spikes of yellow flowers). Noticed a couple of big dragonflies darting about menacingly. Also one or two Peacock butterflies. Field Mushrooms and some big specimens of Boletus under nearby trees. Also a strange (withered) saxifrage on many walls. You can get more information about Glen Moss by following the link on the SWT homepage.
