View from Waverley Bridge

Princes Street Gardens are a little greener than last time I passed, though the grass is still parched in places. 

An errand in town made a good excuse for an early walk in before the festival crowds (which included lots of Alice, Mad Hatter and Red Queen costumes today) reached their peak. Also made it to the Masters exhibition at the Queen's Gallery, which inspired some enjoyable but unsuccessful dabbling with paint.
