All Things Scottish

I love Scotland and, as a result, I love all things Scottish.  I served as a Mormon Missionary in Scotland from July 1992 to January 1994 and I think I've thought about Scotland in some way everyday since.  That is why I drive a MINI.  That is why I have to catch my breath whenever I hear bagpipes.  So you can understand why I had to take a picture of this thistle that was randomly growing by the side of the trail in Bryce Canyon National Park.  The flower of Scotland.  Beautiful!
