Fuzzy wuzzy

Put my head down and managed to get all my work done by 3.30pm today so that I could take advantage of the beautiful day and go for a cycle.

It was glorious. Sunshine, warm, light breeze... couldn't ask for better really. I headed south and wandered the back roads of South Ronaldsay. Took a wee detour to take some pics of the cliffs, beaches and wildflowers. However this furry building caught my eye as I headed back to the road.

The fuzz is lichen. Masses of it. Probably the only thing holding the stones in place. I guess the old adage about rolling and gathering holds true for lichen as well as moss.
