Floods & Reflections

Completely surprised by the extent of the flooding

on the Somerset Levels. . . .

Evenso, due to the watery  change of the landscape,

this created some very scenic viewing. . . .

Just love the reflections of the trees & bushes,

 that were edging the individual fields,

which had now been overtaken by the vast amount of flood water.

Quite breathtaking in this bittersweet setting.

Visit to Kew Gardens

Enjoying a lovely day at Kew Gardens last Sunday,

a day really wasn't long enough. . . .

The vast gardens has a variety of trees and,

 as we now enter into Autumn,

the leaves are starting to turn from its various shades of green,

 into the warmer shades of Autumn. . .

One of the more modern sites in the gardens is the Princess of Wales Conservatory,

a very large complex home to many cacti, exotic flowers & plants besides other delights. . . .

Ducks & Geese at Slimbridge

One favourite place to visit is Slimbridge Wetland Centre, Gloucester where there is numerous ducks, geese & swans, even flamingo's, besides other wildlife.

The Wetland centre is dedicated to wildlife & conservation.

Flamingo's

The Mute Swan

The Greylag Goose

I was inspired to produce these Geese cross stitch pictures, but still waiting to fine suitable photo frames.

The Teal

With the thought of ducks, I couldn't resist making this cross stitch picture just a few years ago, very characteristic at Easter.
