A trip to the National Trust gardens at Kingston Lacy to see the snowdrops.
Kingston Lacy House. Most of the stone pots are covered up, I assume to protect them from frost.
The fern garden looking very different to our last visit in the summer of 2008.
A few daffodils amongst the snowdrops.
A few closer looks at the details in the flowers.
The snowdrops were looking magnificent today.
Snowdrops amongst the ferns.
In the wooded areas a sea of white.
I wonder how many bulbs there are?
This is the newly created Japanese Tea Garden. Compare this with my picture from the summer of 2008 when it looked much brighter.
Well worth the visit. It was not surprising to see so many people here.
A return visit to see the snowdrops. We are not sure that they were as good as last year.
The greenhouses in the kitchen garden.
A closer look at the snowdrops.
The contrast of bamboo and snowdrops. The bamboo looks like it is in late afternoon sun but it was not. It is just the golden colour of the bamboo.
Kingston Lacy house with repairs taking place on the dome.
A second visit for winter 2012 on a much brighter day.
A single daffodil amongst the snowdrops.
This area was roped off to prevent people walking over the plants.
Just showing signs of going over.
A worms eye view.
A bit of motion blur to give a softer look.
Leaving the wooded area.
