Great work as ever Jean. Wonderful, warm autumn pastels with the remaining primary colours standing out even more. Nice lawn they have there – I’d make a cricket pitch out of it 🙂
Thanks Roy! I must say I’m a little surprised that there isn’t any evidence of a tennis court tucked away. I have a ‘mental’ collection of tennis courts in Ireland.
How blessed you are to walk through Mount Congreve Garden so regularly! And how blessed I feel to see your petaled paradise pics 🙂 ❤ ❤ Pinned this post @ http://www.pinterest.com/pin/12596073933215337/
SOCIAL BRIDGE ~ Jean Tubridy connecting with you from Ireland 
Beautiful photos, Jean!
Thanks very much Sue. No possibility of ever doing the Garden justice though!
There never is, is there?
No! Definitely not with places of natural beauty.
We can always try… if nothing else the trying shows how much they move us.
I agree and anyway the trying is uplifting in its own way.
And the camera itself seems to teach you how to notice the small details as well as the wider picture.
Absolutely!
Delightful xxxxx
Many, many thanks, Willow. Glad you enjoyed it.
I really really did!
LOL!
I love these! I’m starting to think of doing a monthly like you….
Would you be insulted?
Thanks Dale! I’d be delighted to have company and to get to see your side of the world so go for it.
Yay!!
Yay!! is right.
Wonderful pictures–What a peaceful and beautiful place!
Thanks Sheryl. Mount Congreve is absolute bliss and I feel incredibly lucky to live so close to it.
Thank you, Jean. Incredible compilation.
My pleasure, Dana. Mount Congreve Garden is a paradise for me!
