What does a nursery look like when it's deserted by its humans? It looks like this. Plants still grow in the greenhouses. Just not the kind you want in your yard--unless you're a grasshopper.

A close up look at a Mother of Thousands plant. Each of those little buds will make a new plant when they drop off.

Outside

The sky is feeling old-fashioned

in its birthday blue

and is dressing in grey, clouding

the trees who are yet to tell

what weird dance

the wind is trying to choreograph,

while the sun, playing hide and seek

with the world’s shadows,

is unsure if it should hide

in the little space of mind

between the familiar

and the unknown

something like the sky

failing to decide whether to send rains

or sunshine

or just vanish

and leave the world roofless

reflects our unknown

boundaries

looking outside

I feel I’m just what it is

the sky in a quandary

As we descend lower back towards Glenshee after climbing Carn Aosda and The Cairnwell, we pass what would, in winter, be the nursery training slopes, bordered by fencing. In the distance the high Munro summits of Carn an Tuirc and Cairn of Claise can be seen. But this is it folks, until the next time I'll bid you adieu.

This trip sees me bagging 2 more Munro's. Carn Aosda, my 22nd Munro, stands at 917 meters (3008 feet), while The Cairnwell, my 23rd Munro, stands at 933 meters (3061 feet). They do both stand at the heart of the Glenshee Ski Development, so may be not a pretty or remote as some other Munro's.

Two water mangrove forest, Krabi, Thailand by Florian Christian

another shot from one of my favourite places, the 'Two Water' mangrove forest in Krabi.

Quite a unique little biosphere, where at high tide saltwater from the Andaman Sea and fresh water from the mountain forests mix in a small stream. The constant exchange of nutrients combined with shelter from the mangrove trees create an ideal nursery for everything that thrives in this climate. An incredibly rich little biodiversity hotspot, besides providing a visual spectacle.

Please feel free to check my Thailand album for some other views from this same place published previously, e.g. a close up of a tree reflected and one of the magnificent palms that grow in the surrounding wetlands.
