It was a lovely day, cold but bright. The autumn is turning to true winter, with bitter winds, with the last leaves dropping from the trees. But with the bright sunshine, I hardly cared about the cold. I walked along the Rocheid path by the Water of Leith, then through the Royal Botanic Gardens back into Canonmills and back to work.

The last leaves on the oak tree on the Rocheid Path.

Holly leaves, Aboretum Avenue. I love the shapes of these leaves, but I think I need a better background next time..

With a walk like that, on a day like this, the world is a good place.
