Rowan Tree and Red Thread

Another sunny day out in Fota Wildlife Park and Arboretum. The weather has
held for this bank holiday weekend and we're revelling in it. So too are
most of the other residents of Cork so it was an early start this morning,
with sammywol putting together a picnic in short order and
piling us all into the car.

At the park we've seen all sorts of animals in the wildlife park and had our
souls soothed by the green quiet of the gardens. There will be more photos
up on our Flickr site soon but for the moment you'll have to imagine us
sitting in a little wooden garden seat (or possibly a gazebo), drowsing in a
pleasant summer heat and watching the sunlight flit through the leaves of a
splendid sweet chestnut tree.
