Wakehurst Place - mostly yellow.
Another sunny day and another lovely walk in the countryside and gardens.
Today we went to Nymans - only about 4 miles from home. Our local garden!
We go quite often and I decided to challenge myself photographically by sticking to the colour yellow.
Yes, I know....it's a red tulip.
But just look at the magnificent yellow centre - the pistil and stamens.
New growth on a shrub and the wonders of the humble dandelion.
We wandered away from the gardens and out into the fields.
Lots of wild daffodils.
Yellow tulips and primroses.
Yellow tulips and pink blossom.......there was a lot of pink to enjoy as well as the yellow.
Pale yellow fritillary.
I feel really good about having taken this photograph.
Now for some non yellow...........
Bill at our picnic table.
To add a final flourish to a lovely couple of hours we went into the barn which is now a second hand book shop......and I found 5 Catherine Alliotts.
We had not expected to be at Nymans today, but plans had been changed.
We had planned to see Julie Pilgrims today. She phoned early to say that she was feeling too tired and wanted to go back to bed.
This is very sad.
