I went on a walk (not a hike, just a walk) today with a colleague. I needed to get out of the house and get some fresh air blowing away all miceniches that were in my head. She invited me to go on a walk and so, we did! As you do.
On our walk she pointed out this ant hill. I didn't at first understand what she was talking about, but after a while I did. Well, of course I needed a photo of that! Far away and close up.
It was quite massive and their were thousands of little ants working away to make their home as safe as they could. Aren't ants amazing? Well, unless they come in the house that is. Then I am not so enamoured!!

ReplyDeleteThat, indeed, is a sizeable nest!!! They are wonderful critters - in their environment... Happy Sunday - am off to Edinburgh now for a week. Just because I can! YAM xx
We saw another one, but that one wasn't as big yet!
DeleteHope you have a great week in Edinburgh.
What a large anthill. Don't mind coming across them on a walk but loathe them if they get into the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteGood idea to go out for a walk ! Yes aunts are very interesting, except in the house as you say.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow was Gene's response when I showed him the ant hill! Busy little critters for sure! Hope the fresh air helped.
ReplyDeleteYes, oh wow indeed! And they were very busy and got even busier as we got closer.
DeleteWhen my Mum was a little girl she used to go out into the backyard with a teaspoon of sugar and lie in the grass and feed the ants. She loved watching them and still does. They sure are busy little things, aye? Hope the hike helped to clear the head.
ReplyDeleteI used to race snails! Well, I say race....
DeleteOh my, that's a big one!
