We had a nice walk in Saughton Park yesterday. Some of the late roses were looking particularly fine
and some are still in bud
There's a lovely stone rose near one of the entrances to the park
We were pleased to see a few hoverflies around, though it was difficult to get photos as it was very windy most of the time. This Sun Fly (aka Footballer Hoverfly) Helophilus pendulus stayed still for long enough on this Yarrow plant to be photographed

Meanwhile I'm delighted to have another haiku featured in the Haiku Girl Summer, this time in the Sun-baked issue! You can read the whole issue here.

You do have some delightful walks where you live! And I love the stone rose! 😁
Hi Sal, yes we're very lucky - Edinburgh is full of beautiful greenspaces.
Congrats on the Haiku publication -- I'll link over there after I send this. Beautiful roses which remind me that I haven't made it to our local rose garden yet -- maybe I'm not too late if I go soon. (It's been super hot here, so depends on water and care I expect).
Thanks Sallie! Hope you can get to your local rose garden before it's too late!
I do like to see roses, I enjoyed your photographs.
Well done on the Haiku publication.
All the best Jan
