Caption: Week two of lockdown, and we were settling into new routines. Missing adventures, but settling into our local walks. Getting to know this place we live in. Which has meant rediscovering for me as I grew up here. But things have changed. These lockdown weeks have granted me fresh eyes. Walking along the sea front as the sun was setting, the sky flaming in the distance over Edinburgh. Gentle light over the pond at the lagoons. Grey skies too. Bare trees as we walked through the areas of woodland at the lagoons. And low tide, the sea drawn back to reveal the mussel beds that extend out into the Forth.

Caption: This scene has changed so much over the last nine weeks. Week by week, we’ve watched spring unfurl in these little sections of woodland at the ash lagoons. Back in early April, the trees were still bare.

Caption: Thinking about things I’ve been grateful about during lockdown, having a yoga space at home has been one of the main ones. This would have been so much harder a few years back when we were living in Edinburgh and I was going to a studio - and that studio was my second home. So I really feel for people who are missing their yoga spaces and their teachers and these opportunities to find calm and re-centre. It can be hard to develop a home practice if you aren’t used to it, and when you feel connected to a certain space. Also, of course, I’m grateful for yoga. I’m grateful to have this practice to turn to, always, but especially now.

Caption: Do you have favourite trees from the walks you go on and the places you visit? I have a few: there’s one as you cross the grassland towards the dunes at Yellowcraig. One in the woodland when walking towards Ravensheugh Sands. A couple at John Muir Country Park. Trees that always catch my eye. That I will always be drawn to photograph. And this weeping willow is a new one for me, from our walks at the lagoons. Wait until you see this tree a few weeks down the line, swaying in the breeze, its lush foliage hovering over the water.

Caption: You’re also going to be seeing a lot more of these swans in the coming weeks.
