阳光下的绿

最近天气变热了,最高温度大概有摄氏18度吧。这里的公园一瞬间,就出现了好多人,坐在草地上吃午餐,聊天,享受日光浴。
5月5日我们逛了植物园。植物园里有大片大片的草地,和数不尽落在地上的树枝,让靖恒玩得不亦乐乎。那是个很清幽的地方,可惜今年提早开花,现在许多花朵都谢了,不然会很多姿多彩吧。期待夏天带来的另一番风景。

The sun is out, the temperature is up, the wind is actually cooling instead of chilling. What a nice weather to be out! Especially now that sunset is around 9pm. The grass patches in the parks have welcomed back the people who abandoned them in the cold and wet winter and early spring. People gather on the grass drinking, talking and laughing with friends, playing balls and frisbees, or just enjoying suntanning.
We went to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh on 5 May, a Bank Holiday. Although bank holidays don't mean breaks for Jianming, he was going to use the bus that day to get something someone living in the northern parts of Edinburgh was giving out, so we took the opportunity to get out on a bus. It is a nice garden, I like the spacious green spaces and the rock garden that was well landscaped. Might want to come again in summer, and see how the scenes change.
