Not a bird in sight (well at least not in my sight) and only one butterfly captured by my camera. However, I have decided that gardens that we visit are well worth recording on my blog as they show nature as fashioned by man (and very often woman).
The Veddw House Garden, the garden of Charles Hawes (prize winning garden photographer) and Anne Wareham (garden writer) on the Welsh borders near Devauden up above Tintern Abbey was quite a challenge to photograph with a high sun on a Sunday afternoon – but Sunday afternoon is the only time it is open to the public. How wise of them to keep it to themselves to savour and possibly photograph in the golden hours.
The owners say it’s “all about patterns, shapes, colours, drama, sculptural hedges and views”. I hope you get a sense of all that from my photos.
