Ok Edinburgh peeps, I want to know about your favourite MUNDANE, hidden in plain sight things.

You know the kinda thing: signs, pipes, drain covers, stonework, door-knockers, street art, shop fronts, doorways, tenement tiles, ornaments, gates etc that you like but suspect no-one else even notices.

#31DaysofGraves: Day9: Hand. Clasped hands can symbolise unity or reconnection between two people after death. We don't have many types of these at Warriston, but this celtic knot work stone is a nice example. #Edinburgh #celticknot #Warriston #taphophile

An ‘Items in My Pocket’ sketch. It has been a while since I did one of these but I’ve found a couple from previous years. A simple way to capture a moment in life. The contents of my pockets haven’t changed too much! #inkdrawing #inkoftheday #itemsinmypocket #momentintime #sketchjournal

#31DaysOfGraves day 8 - glass. Arguably the most famous tomb despite its current state, the "Red Lady" (officially the Robertson mortuary chapel) was erected in 1865 for Mary Ann Robertson (1826–1858). The original red glass roof allowed red coloured daylight to flicker on the stone figure inside.

Our Monday walk this week was along the Water of Leith to Saughton Park. Along the walk we spotted herons fishing on the water, unperturbed by 10 people watching it. The sun came out at the gardens, and we enjoyed the fragrances of herbs and the last of the summer bloomers.
