Pretty as a picture

We were going over my pictures from the Venture Crew's trip to Great Britain this last summer, and siege thought that this one was particularly good. He'd like to see it made into a puzzle or printed as a postcard.

Gorse is a prickly bush with bright yellow blossoms that blooms all over the high country in Great Britain. This particular patch was growing by a stream tumbling down the side of Scafell Pike toward Wast Water in Cumbria.

I've added this pic to my gallery of flora, which you will find here: http://pics.livejournal.com/aefenglommung/gallery/00008941
