The Time of the Trees

Day 117 - 11:43am, 27 April 2019

I wonder to myself how long I will be able to actually see the Water of Leith from my vantage point on the bridge. The trees are now either in bud or their leaves have unfurled and are obscuring my view. Once they are all out on full display, it may be a water-free image until the autumn winds whip them from their temporary home.

It's not something I thought of when I chose the spot in January. My main criteria was that it had to be practical for me to go there every day, whether I was on my way to work or not. A window to another world that I can peek through from the busy-busy of the street, without having to leave it. I consider shifting my position along the bridge to be closer to the Water of Leith building, but I decide that is cheating. Besides that, it seems only fair that the trees should have their chance to be centre spot.
