We spent time in a couple of local parks this weekend. On Friday lunchtime, we visited Harrison Park, which borders the Union Canal.
The daffodils are out in full bloom
as are the crocuses
and this beautiful Blackthorn tree
From Harrison Park we popped into North Merchiston Cemetery, where the snowdrops are still in full bloom
and ladybirds are still hibernating on some of the gravestones - the larger ladybirds in the photo below are two different colour varieties of Harlequin Ladybirds while the smaller ones are Pine Ladybirds.
Yesterday we visited Saughton Park which borders the Water of Leith.
We saw plenty of birds in the park, including a Dipper
and a Song Thrush
The miniature daffodils and crocuses were looking beautiful
I love all the pretty spring flowers!
