York Museum is set in extensive grounds. Remains of a castle, and more extensive remains of an abbey, with paths leading down to the river. There’s also the botanic gardens, with plantings such as this glacier  lily.

In spring, the bank the almost complete city walls rest on are covered in banks of daffodils.

Landscaping on a large scale: a small stream trickling through Edinburgh’s Royal Botanic Garden.

These looked like dried pods at the top of a long thin stem in the Royal Botanical Gardens. I couldn’t see any sigh of a label for them.

It’s always nice seeing pasque flowers around Easter. These were in an alpines / rockery section of the Edinburgh Royal Botanical Gardens.

The tranquil surface of a large pond. A couple of mallard drakes swim vaguely in the direction where there are people standing, possibly with the hope of being fed.
