As luck would have it my wildest day during the last fortnight was on the last day of May, so it doesn't count. But Ben Lui deserves a photo.

Since then I have not had the chance to go out of town, but it has been good to notice how much wild nature is all round us.

Our nearest bit of wild nature is Edinburgh's river, the Water of Leith. It had shrunk during May with a prolonged spell of no rain.

But then we had torrential rain for a short time on Monday and heavy rain all day on Tuesday. What a difference.

Last year I was able to photograph my own wild garden on most days. Now we are in a 2nd floor tenement, temporarily. But in Edinburgh there is no problem finding where others have made patches of wild flowers. This is the Hermitage and Braid Hills Local Nature Reserve.

Whereas this luxuriant burst of wild nature is on the slope between the Castle and Princes Street Gardens.
And finally, when you are enjoying the wild this month, don't forget that as well a looking down and around, also look up.
