This is looking through the gates of Holyrood Park,
near the Commonwealth Pool, to Salisbury Crag.
It is amazing that what looks like wilderness
is almost in the centre of the city.
I drive through here most days to get to work,
and I never tire of the view.
Note the crowns on top of the lamps posts.
This is because Holyrood Palace is set within the park.

Inside out
We had the most magnificent sunset here today.
The sun was an enormous glowing circle just hanging in the sky.
I didn't have my camera!!
I was almost home, so I rushed in, got the camera
and drove the half mile back to where I had seen the perfect sun.
It was gone!
Well it would be wouldn't it?
So feeling dispirited I went home and took numerous photos around the house.
I love this one:
I was inside the house shooting through the front window,
trying to get a shot of Venus up behind the tree.
Well, I didn't get Venus.
but I did get the lounge room lights reflected in the window glass.

Merchiston castle School
This school is just down the road from us.
If you've got lots of money your kids can go to a school like this:
The amount of land this school has is astounding,
especially when compared to our council schools,
most of which have very little playground space.
A close up of some of the trees in the grounds.
I'm always surprised that we can walk freely around the school grounds/

Day 31
Day 31!
I made it through a whole month with no relapses.
That must be a first for me. I am hopeless at following things through to the end!
Not that this is the end, of course, but at least I'm still going.
I had a very busy day scrapping today,
so my photo of the day is a photo of a work in progress-image transfers!
