A stroll through Inverleith Park and the Botanics.

I love the line of trees in Inverleith Park, and they made me seek out a similar but different prospect in the Botanics. Lots of crocuses and daffodils too, though I didn't notice and forgot to look for the famous snowdrops!

I think it was my first visit to the Botanics since Storm Eowyn. There are still many trees down. It's a bit like seeing injured friends.

A colour photograph taken in Inverleith Park in Edinburgh. In the foreground is a large area of grass, on which a couple of people are walking in the distance. 

Post the grass is a line of of fifteen tall trees, part of a long avenue through the park. The bare trees are silhouetted against the sky.

In the distance, hard to make out in the fight haze is the skyline of Edinburgh.
A colour photograph taken in the Botanics (Royal Botanic Gardens) in Edinburgh. It shows a hillside, at the top of which and to the left of the picture is Inverleith House, a Georgian building.

In front of that are four trees and in front of them a grassy slope, in which a very many white and purple crocuses and yellow daffodils are flowering.
A colour photograph of a line of trees (poplars, I believe) in the Botanics (Royal Botanic Gardens) in Edinburgh, taken from the entrance to Inverleith House. 

Taken facing north, a line of eight bare trees fills most of the picture. In the foreground is a round pond with a metal statue in its centre. The line is surrounded by a broad pathway. 

Beyond the line of trees are bushes and other trees. 

Above them is a clear blue sky
