Autumn At The Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh

If it is Thursday, a journey to Edinburgh is the most likely event.
Today was no exception and after I dropped Pat at the Scottish Arts Club for her Life Drawing Class I drove to the Royal Botanic Gardens  to photograph the Autumn Colours.

Of course, I should have taken a ‘proper digital camera’ but I relied on my two iPhones. The weather was bright and sunny and the gardens were ‘glowing’. The entry photo and the first extra shows two views of the glowing gardens.

There is an also extra showing the Shaggy scalycap fungus and another extra showing a dragon sculpture, at least to my eyes.

The Shaggy scalycap "produces a protein that could help tackle some of humanity’s most serious diseases. In laboratory tests the compound inhibits the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 which has claimed 7 million lives, and the virus that cause Hepatitis B which infects 300 million. It can also be used to detect high-risk types of prostrate cancer."

Concluding my visit to RBGE, I rendezvoused with Pat before driving to Costco for lunch, groceries and Petrol. Costco sell the cheapest petrol in Edinburgh.

Thereafter we drove back home, taking an alternative route as advised by Apple Maps.

I am quite pleased with my glowing photographs.
