Of course, a garden isn’t really a garden without flowers. At the top of the central water cascade is where they’re all at, in a walled-off courtyard. Plenty of tulips in bloom in April of course, all gloriously coloured, such happy flowers to see after a long grey winter.
a lovely magnolia was in bloom too,
always glad to get the macro lens out.
Stay tooned folks, more to come. 🙂

It’s a bit of a beast, and quite heavy, but does the job. Thanks Eddy 🙂

Looking down into the protected center of the tulip is a clever, gorgeous shot.
