As there are many RHODODENDRON coming into flower, these are a few of them below and this one happens to be RED.
I
am sharing these 3 reflections from the lake at Mount Stewart with you and on
it are Little Grebe and Mute Swan.
There are very many beautiful trees in Mount Stewart however today, to illustrate the word TEXTURE I have chosen three different tree barks.
Leptospermum
scoparium
Quercus suber - Cork Oak
Luma apiculata is a species of flowering plant in the Myrtle
family.
I hope you enjoyed the photographs and you could find a favourite.
I am linking this post with FRIDAY'S HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTIONS

Love the trees, Swans and the Rhodos.
ReplyDeleteNice shots! I love the reflections.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful! We love waterfowl and that pair of swans is wonderful. Tree bark makes for a contrast in bark texture, ranging from rough (Leptospermum) to smooth (aciculate). I hadn't noticed that...nice pics!
