Today, Princes Street Gardens looked magical under the glow of the afternoon sun.
It drew me in, even if it was only just for a moment.
The autumn mist and colours were hypnotic. It was not my plan to visit the gardens but here I was. It was a welcomed distraction.

This morning’s walk started along Queens’s Drive in Holyrood Park towards St Margaret’s Loch.
I can never go by the loch without saying “Good morning” to the locals. The swans. They were seriously busy…… grooming.
I clearly interrupted one having a private session. Naughty me.
I was lucky on this morning’s walk, as the sky already had a beautiful palette of orange, yellows and purple.
A lovely backdrop to the Autumn leaves.
Timing is everything. As I approached Meadowfield park, it was evident that it was going to be a beautiful rise.
The show did not disappoint. I never tire of seeing the break of day.
I sat there for some time, just taking it all in.
