plants/coffee
The very first thing we did when we got to Edinburgh was to drop our bags at the hotel. The second thing we did was to seek out some coffee, which we found at this lovely shop that sells plants and coffee. It was a tiny place made even cozier by the condensation on the insides of the windows and the drizzle outside.
And later that day, after I’d had coffee and a brief exploration of our temporary new neighborhood, someone did me the kind favor of walking by with a purple umbrella.

Scottish mist blurs the night
I can see how living in a misty climate could get old. But since I don’t live in a misty place, it seemed enchanting and delightful. And – bonus! – it opened up the possibility of utilizing the reflective, wet pavement and doing some intentional camera movement images.

castle/graves
The St. Cuthbert’s Kirkyard is just down the hill from the Edinburgh Castle. I liked the kirkyard a lot more than I liked the castle, if I’m being honest.
You know I like to photograph cemeteries…

coffee girl
The first morning in Edinburgh was a treat, wandering around in the mist with my camera in hand, taking in sights of a place I’d never been.
And that’s how I happened to see this young woman at a coffee shop. (And how she happened to see me.)
