I decided I would give the dogs a walk in Dales Park when I was in Peterhead yesterday.  It had been pouring with rain in the morning but the weather had dried up and the paths looked decided “un-muddy” – or I thought.

By the time I was half way round the circuit I was walking up a little stream that was flowing down the path, and the whole area was very soggy.  Not that the dogs minded, it was me who had to wipe them down afterwards.

It was a lovely spring day.  The light was good, the bare trees seemed to stand out against the sky.  There daffodils everywhere, adding a  splash of yellow to the scene.   I managed a few photographs with daffodils and the unleafed skeletons of trees.  It was fortunate that I had a thick supermarket bag in the car, so I was able to kneel down to get closer to the flowers.

While I was there I also took the opportunity to look for another view of the Reform Tower.   I will come back later when the trees are in leaf and see how the tower looks then.

Dales Park and daffodils in April.   I can hardly wait for the bluebells in the woods to come out!
