It was our last day in Edinburgh and the last day of our vacation and so we were uplifted by this sign as we made our way towards the botanic garden and, on arrival, recorded the map of what is a very large area and then started to explore coming to this interesting artwork which we didn't understand in the lily pond after we ran into the waterfall in the rock garden and then started recording flowers and settings and then back to flowers as Suzanne made her way up a path and we went past the leaning tree before more flowers came into view and this label was recorded as possible ground cover for us as the flowers

and settings continued with more flowers always around as we observed the rules and returned to flowers and settings followed by these remarkably large leaves after which we returned to a lily pond and saw this duck before we saw the monkey puzzle trees and this quiz question and then some smaller monkey puzzles followed by more flowers and this small mound of grass and another mound with mini-flowers onto which we focused before returning to flower photos and then came to a remarkable hedge with a passageway which Suzanne headed to and through before we continued on towards the trees as we made our way to the Queen Mother's Memorial Garden where the bushes were made out to look like a maze as we studied the history of the queen mother and her garden before going to the shelter where there was this medal for her and these remarkable walls and ceilings after which we focused in on the walls and then after some flower photos

Suzanne posed with this scarecrow and we left the most impressive gardens.

On the way forward, we passed a cricket game in action and noted the score and then passed a house with these lovely flowers

and caught a long view down an Edinburgh street before getting this sign for the dog collection and making our way to the Georgian House where photography was not allowed but the presentation was remarkable. We made our way into town and stopped at a pub for this ciabata and beer and then were tempted into these chips by our neighbors to which we then added ketchup. After a break, we headed off to dinner and happened past the birth place of James Clerk Maxwell before going to the Urban Angel where this was the menu which Suzanne studied as I took this self portrait and she ordered her lemonade as her salad and my fallafel arrived and then her sandwich and my chilli (British spelling) arrived. After dinner, we went to Kays Bar and had a pleasant conversation with our neighbor.
