A lovely Autumn's Day out at Wrest Park

Still taking advantage of the beautiful Autumn days...we popped over to Wrest Park today.  Although we go quite a lot, with the changing seasons there is always something difficult to photograph, or the same thing that looks different with changes in light, perspective, foliage etc...


The gardens looked as spectacular as ever.





A cheeky little robin.






The colours on the house were spectacular as the leaves are changing colour.







The bridge from a completely different angle from what I have taken before.








The bath house also taken from a different angle.



Beautiful flowers


Busy bee!






Wonderful blue sky.





A lovely day and the perfect opportunity to be outdoors and soaking up some warmth and Vitamin D!

A Lovely Way to spend a Sunday.

What a beautiful day it was today.  

We ventured over to Wrest Park and took some chairs, a picnic and my art gear.  


As you walk into the park you are greeted by an array of colour


Simply beautiful gardens.



After walking through these pretty gardens we headed off to our favourite spot.


We set up our chairs and our picnic with the view of the bridge


I sat, sketched and painted - the first time I have done such a thing


After a while we had to move into the shade - it really was warm today.

Once we finished our picnic and I had finished drawing and painting we packed up, took our things back to the car, and then came back to walk round the park.


These two ducks were busy preening.


Mark & Percy




A 'dinosaur'   - well with the stretch of the imagination!


Some views of the park and buildings - quite a few photos to follow...









The folly - they are working on returning the water area that surrounds this to its original state.



Hey, no phones allowed!



That's right, caught you!





I don't often get photos of me, usually being the one behind the camera.



Beautiful butterflies.





A perfect way to spend a Sunday!
