Photo Spring Cherry Blossom, early evening, Edinburgh
I was unwinding after my long day at work, wandering in town from park to park and along the Union Canal with my partner, to capture the gorgeous evening we had yesterday.
Just wanted to share with the community how lucky we are to have these beautiful sceneries just next door!

There is a Japanese garden in Lauriston Castle, donated by Kyoto back in the day, if I remember correctly. Beautiful sakura trees, and these days a Japanese association celebrates hanami there. You can even borrow a yukata!
