Went for a walk

Went for a walk to the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow yesterday. They were packing up the Jurassic Kingdom animatronic dinosaur display so it was quite surreal with all these dinosaurs packed up into lorries and taken apart.

I've recently being trying to keep a regularly updated Tumblr so the main goal of my walk was to gather pictures of wildlife and plant life around the gardens. There weren't so many bugs out as it's the start of autumn and it was a cloud day, but here are the bugs I saw. A few flies I don't know the identity of, some hoverflies, bumblebees and Red Admiral butterflies were out and about.

Vanessa atalanta on Japanese Anemone flowers

Common carder bee Bombus pascuorum on Sedum flowers

There were also lots of beautiful flowers still out, as you can see below

The berries and seeds also made me feel very autumny, although I miss living in the countryside where you could gather bramble berries to make jam out of, here in the city I worry about them being less clean. I didn't get any good pictures of bramble berries, but here are some other fruits I found.
