If I ever volunteered to garden -- that would be the place. The grass is so green and it just goes on and on forever. Our grass here dies in the winter and comes out again from the roots in spring -- if you water it! So dry here. Interesting texture of bark on the chestnut tree. I like how you highlight little details like the chestnut bark. I wouldn't have thought of statuary in danger from frost -- boxing it for the winter!WOLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775462248193876148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493398068080107368.post-29724820676602826242011-02-19T02:28:52.467-08:002011-02-19T02:28:52.467-08:00I haven't been to Kingston Lacey, it looks a l...I haven't been to Kingston Lacey, it looks a lovely house. The winter aconites are beautiful, what a wonderful splash of sunshine-y colour. I found the story about the obelisk interesting, I went to a wonderful sound and light show at Philae a few years ago so I know exactly where it originated.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493398068080107368.post-29459772108753216152011-02-19T00:40:16.995-08:002011-02-19T00:40:16.995-08:00Gosh - I can remember your photos from this time l...Gosh - I can remember your photos from this time last year - how quickly that year has fled by.
