Last week I took the camera out to look for the Autumnal seasonal changes at The Courts garden. This is a 'go to' local location for us and I visited it here on the blog back in May half term too.
Autumn colour was still the strongpoint although there were signs that Summer was desperately clinging on - and this was the tail end of October!
Strawberries still waiting to ripen in the kitchen gardens alongside an array of potted plants - that I admired with no clue as to what they are.
Happy to find some Autumnal scenes with carpets of leaves showing reds, browns and oranges.
Trees and plants just call out to be explored - hug a tree, get up close to its trunk, touch its leaves - it's amazing how different how they all look, sound, smell and feel.
Finally, a look ahead to all things Christmassy and a sign that Winter is next in line. Bold red berries hanging like bells adding to the Autumn colours just perfectly.

Fabulous! Love the colour in the trees and the blanket of leaves on the ground. Gorgeous! #HDYGG
ReplyDeleteI love National Trust gardens and I'm a total sucker for any type of kitchen garden. What an amazing shock of red in that tree!

ReplyDeleteOh my those red berries and leaves! Such colour! And strawberries?! The worlds gone mad!
ReplyDeleteWe have a few National Trust places local to us, I really need to pull my finger out and get along for a mooch - this house extension is eating up weeks and weeks of my life now - I long to get out exploring places like this!

If you ever fancy Mottisfont - I think that's down your way? - give me a shout :) Have fun with the extension - I'm a little bit envious, I need more space!
ReplyDeleteThank you - I like to get up close and personal with things ;)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I dream of a walled kitchen garden!
ReplyDeleteI love a good blanket of leaves - so inviting! Thanks for the comment :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic tree colours! And they've said the English strawberry season will be longer this year too - yay!
ReplyDeleteI love the bark on that cherry tree and the fabulously bright leaves. Lovely looking place.
