The Botanics in April



Spring has really arrived in Edinburgh over the past couple of weeks. The world outside is waking up; tourists are multiplying; the days are getting longer, brighter and warmer. All of this makes it even more confusing to be going through a difficult patch of life, resulting from a close family bereavement and struggles with my own physical health. Normally this time of year would give me energy. I just have to hope that summer or autumn will be better.

Nevertheless, I'm trying to keep moving when I can. I managed a slow wander around the Botanics, which are looking much more lively now than they were a couple of months ago. Being outside in the sunshine, surrounded by nature, with a camera in hand, certainly helps.
