Lots of blossom out in Edinburgh at the moment. This is on the edge of The Meadows, near the university library. I spent a couple of minutes in the sun (had to make the most of it - it might not be back for ages!) after picking up a pile of books on ritual theory for my next essay. Last week there was white blossom in all the cracks in pavement just along the road - it looked just like snow as it first starts to settle. Unfortunately that was the one day I didn't have my camera with me.
I love this photo. It reminds me of a passage in Anne of Green Gables, when Anne first arrives in Avonlea and Matthew drives her through "the Avenue", lined on either side with white blossom trees. Anne decides that the avenue is not a suitably romantic enough name for such a gorgeous place, so decides to call it "the White Way of Delight".
