Edinburgh Botanical Garden Photos (pic heavy!)
 

Hey all!

I got a new lens for my birthday so since the Royal Botanic Gardens is like 5 mins from my house, it's the perfect place to go for a lovely day out taking photos. Most of these are based in the glasshouses and some are orchids, some not.... hope you like!

Sorry about that folks....I have like a million pics!!

What a nice neighborhood!

How beautiful!!! I wish I had known about this place when I went to visit good friends in Edinburgh. I'll be going to see them again in January and probably in the spring as well next year, so I'll definitely go have a walk around the botanical garden! Though it's not in their neighboorhood at all, they're down by the medical school.

I have fallen in love with Scotland, it's a fantastic country. In my previous 3 visits I've been in and around Edinburgh and the Pentlands, and out to the Cairngorms and Isle of Skye for some hiking (and all important distillery visiting). In January my Edinburgh friends and I are going to do some winter hiking up around Iverness (and hope to get lucky with some northern lights), and in May I go back for Puffin season.

What's your new lens?

Excellent shots!

What great photos - really shows plant diversity!

Such lovely plants. 2 or 3 in there that I've never seen. 5 minutes from your house you say....heaven

Thanks for the kind words guys! I love it there! I am going there this weekend at 9pm as they have an event on where they light everything up with different coloured laser beams/light beams so I hope to get some good snaps there!

My camera is a canon 400D and I have the standard kit lens 18-55mm, a 100mm Macro and a 70-300mm Telephoto (new one!)

Stunning pictures! :) My first digital was the rebel xTi :) The new lens you have, is a real pip! :)
