Tuesday

We had a gorgeous weekend ,
the weather was perfect , sunny and hot.
So we were out visiting places amoungst
other things .
Nunnington Hall - a Yorkshire manor house
from the the 17th century

The bridge across the river ...




The back from the garden - it was originally
the front with a long drive up towards the house .




side garden where the tearoom served
food grown from the garden .





They had 4 resident young peacocks ,
meandering around and very tame.
Here i am sat on the grass - waiting to get a
close up shot ;o)





The young miss pea hen ..


and the shyer Mr peacock ...


Part of the grass had been cut - the rest was left ,
it looked like a wild garden .









And just a small selection of the blooming flowers ..





It is a place that we will revisit -
just to see how the seasons affects the
beautful garden !

Your camera takes fabulous photographs...but you, the photographer make them all come to life with your vision. Sharp, and well composed. And look at you, sitting among the pea fowl...you're a brave lass!!

By the way -- is that house for sale?!?!?! I'd like to buy it!!!

Oooo what a lovely place, and they have a tea room too? Probably even nicer than Betty's :)
Your photographs are amazing, another great talent of yours, and that first peacock looks just like the one we had at the cottage up North :)
