Scaling Dam

The Heather has surpassed itself this year, it's still in full flower and just purple-pink everywhere!! We stopped off to watch a race at Scaling Dam and found the the place practically surrounded in it. Fancy sailing with such pretty scenery!

The pictures I've seen lately showing the heather (which I wasn't too familiar with I'm embarrassed to say) have all been beautiful. This color here really is spectacular - what a setting for that sailboat!
