Best not to get too close ......

..... Gorse is a very spiny evergreen shrub with yellow flowers. This particular bush is one of many growing on Cathkin Braes.

I haven't walked on the Braes for many months but today, having Keta to look after for the afternoon, we headed up the road to Cathkin. A very popular area for dog walkers, cyclists and this afternoon I spotted three horses and their riders enjoying a gentle walk.

Cathkin Braes is probably best known for the mountain biking course in the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
