That body of water makes for some stunning shots Brian - well done. Nice structure from all the topiary too.
ReplyDeleteYou almost what to go home and dig a lake!
DeleteNow that looks like a most fine garden to visit on a what was a beautiful spring day. I'm off to check my copy of the Yellow Book Brian to see if it opens later in the year. I imagine it is given the collection of roses :)
ReplyDeleteMonday 4th May is the next date Anna.
DeleteThat is one lovely garden, even at this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteLike you we are opening for the NGS this year, and there seems to be a mountain to climb to get it ready !
Time does seem to be flying by. When is your garden open?
DeleteGorgeous series of photos; the reflections and colours are captivating.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. I was lucky on the day with the clear blue sky creating ideal conditions for reflections in the lakes.
