Mikki on a hike in the Highlands of Scotland

The woods in the highlands are full of giant rhododendron plants. That is one to the left of Mikki. I have to believe that it is a beautiful sight when they are all blooming. The local environmentalists don't like them because they aren't native and they are prolific growers in this climate and are choking out native species.
