The colours of Summer

reworht · 26th July 2014, 16:14

Thought I would take a few photos of front and rear gardens whilst they are full of colour. It'll be nice to look back on them during the dismal days of Winter

All the credit goes to SWMBO - she's the horticulturist in the family

Hydrangeas in the back garden

Hydrangeas in the front garden

Different coloured hydrangeas in the front garden - thanks to rusty nails

Just hanging around

Some yellow flowers - told you I wasn't a horticulturist

And finally - half of next Winter's bramble and apple crumble - slowly ripening

It's like the Chelsea Flower Show in your garden there Rod

Driving back from Hartlepool the other day the central reservation (A689) was covered in different meadow flowers. Blue cornflowers, red poppies, and some yellow and white thingies (I'm NOT a gardener). I assume they had been planted deliberately as they were evenly distributed. Simple but very effective.

Lovely pictures. I'm an autumn lover myself, take some pictures then

Thank you

Ideal place for Autumn is the Lake District - the colours in the forests around the Keswick and Southwards area are the nearest we get to North America in my humble opinion. Tarn Howes with gold and red leaves is stunning.

As Scooterchick has a liking for Autumn (and it's not far away

), some pictures taken in the Lake District in October and November

Angle Tarn Pikes

The next three are all taken from the ramparts of Muncaster Castle

.... and the last three were all taken around Tarn Howes

Oh they're lovely! I can feel the crisp autumn breeze and that gorgeous smell just looking at them! x

Fantastic colours in those trees, it is a special time of year.

It is always a pleasure to see you posting up photos from your travels Rod and from where you live. You have that creative eye and you know how to frame. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us
