This is the final post regarding Mount Stewart Gardens
at present.
For post (1) CLICK HERE, (2) CLICK HERE. for you to fully understand today's post.
I just would like to tell you that at present
Lisa, The Interpretive Gardener is working in the Italian garden and she is taking
out all the plants and soil in the formal beds and replacing it with fresh soil
as well as manuring the plots. This is
done every third year.
Today, most of photographs
I took of the lake speak for themselves so without any more ado, join Lisa and myself
as we walk around the lake, soaking in all the beauty it had to offer.

These

The
birds I saw on the lake were Black headed and Herring gulls, Mallard, Tufted and
Gadwall ducks, Moorhen, Coot, Mute Swan and Little Grebe.
I hope you enjoyed the walk and views as much as I did.

ReplyDeleteWell, it doesn't get any more beautiful than this ... I love fall and the colors vs the bare branches of the few trees that have already shed their glory. The water, the wildlife and the reflections make this an exceptional post, Margaret ... would have loved to have been walking along side you and Lisa ...
