Elsewhere, Edinburgh is blossoming – a particular joy at this time of year in The Meadows …
… and sunshine streamed today through the roof and windows of The National Museum of Scotland …
And onwards towards a misty evening …
Ohmygosh, Simon, an embarrassment of riches here! The National Museum looks like a delightful place to while away an afternoon and I am quite certain I could wander in The Meadows the entire day without complaint. 🥰🥰 xx
‘tis certainly a very fine city indeed, dear Lori. And a lovely time of the year. I hope you’re enjoying some lovely sunny days in Florida 🤗🌱xx
Everything seems to be blooming everywhere! And yes, some lovely days here in Florida as well. Everything is greening up and nature is stirring. Sandhill Cranes and their chicks strolling around everywhere, deer out in droves, the occasional bobcat across the yard, and of course the ubiquitous alligators soaking up the sun on the banks of nearly every pond. Spring has sprung! Xxoo
What a fabulous and extraordinary list of wildlife, Lori. And every year words along the lines of ‘nature is stirring’ are endlessly cheering. Warmth changes us, as well as alligators, doesn’t it? Have a lovely day 😊🐣xx
Yes, it’s a gift. Wishing you a lovely day as well! Xo
