Looking for Tadpoles at Da Gairdins
Path through the trees at Da Gairdins
Path through the trees
Shetland hasn't got too many trees but we are lucky to live near two wooded areas which we enjoy visiting. One of the good things about grandchildren is the chance to look at the world through their eyes. Our grandsons enjoyed a visit to Da Gairdins i Sand - also known as 'da jungle'.
In the densely wooded area the boys followed the path, always excited to reach the next turn.
The lower part of Da Gairdins has different paths and ponds. This is where we looked for tadpoles.
Two little boys; some big plants
Standing among the tall plants was exciting too - it was a cold day and the boys had to borrow two of Grannie's hats.
Di Boatie Hoose
The last attraction was "Di Boatie Hoose", a shelter made by Jim and Alan Moncrieff, which uses an old boat for a roof.
