Easter in Arran

I'm finally finding time to sort through the many photos taken over the last few months, and catch up (hopefully!) on some blog entries.

Last Easter I went to Arran for a few days.

One of the places I visited was Brodick Castle - it's a great place to visit in the springtime.


This pheasant posed beautifully for me.


I spotted this plant on a visit to a friend in Balloch, growing wild on the shores of Loch Lomond. We weren't sure what it was, although it looked very alien growing there. Then I spotted it beside the pond at Brodick Castle. I think it's skunk cabbage. It didn't seem to smell of skunks, but then again, I wasn't that close...



It's a great time of year in the castle gardens, with the rhododendrons and azaleas in flower.



I loved the magnolia too.




Camellias.


Busy bee.


The daffodils were also in full bloom.




Back in Lamlash and the sun was shining on Holy Isle.



A good time of year.
