Ekatarina - ace photographer.
Shall we, shan't we go out?
Rain was forecast - but when?
Oh, well - lets make the picnic and set off.
In fact there has been no rain for us during the day - hooray!
We have been back to Polesden Lacey, and as I thought Ekatarina appreciated the place.
In the morning we looked at the statues - there are 88 of them. I am sure we haven't seen all of them.
We tried to guess what the sculptor might have titled their work - not always very possible.
Ekatarina has been using my old camera all day - the one that I abandoned after the Thailand trip.
She must have taken over 100 photos both at home and at Polesden Lacey.
She has learned well - and this evening learned how to crop and enhance. She will be busy on Friday sorting out all her photos!
After our picnic Ecky and I explored the house with an information and question sheet. This was good fun and the we really enjoyed imagining that we were grand ladies visiting the house.
Here are just 3 pictures that Ecky took today.
This one we called "Looking Girl". I like the way Ecky has got the statue to one side so that we can see a little way in the direction the girl is looking. We wondered what she could be looking at.
I chose this picture, just because it is a good picture of Grandad.
This herbaceous border is almost as good as the one we had seen at Polesden Lacey.
Early this evening it rained - exceedingly hard. Thank goodness it didn't come earlier.
Tomorrow we will be up early for a drive to Wiltshire.
That's all for now.
We are tired and ready for bed.
