2009 Scotland holiday: St. Andrews Botanic gardens part 3.

11 comments

I have just found these other photos taken in the botanic gardens. Hope you all enjoy them!

Yes I know this isn’t a plant but it is an anemone, all be it a sea dwelling one! This was taken whilst we were doing our environmentally friendly rock-pooling on the Mull of Kintyre: not taking or moving, just looking and photographing.

And here is the poem I wrote about rock pools!

Rock pool.

All is quiet, sunny, and bright,
My peace is shattered by a horrible sight.
What’s stirring the water and moving the sand?
It looks like a net in somebody’s hand.

I’d better hide quickly to avoid being seen,
Buts it’s really quite tricky ‘cos this hand is keen.
I hope it’s the crab that ends up in the net,
But its always the starfish the hand tries to get.

It looks like it’s me; oh where can I hide?
How I wish for a really fast incoming tide.
But now it’s too late, I’ll end up in the bucket,
Just another dried ornament: oh sod it!

Happy gardening!
