Towards the end of April we paid another visit to these fine gardens:<\/p>\n

\"Dutch<\/a>Spring is a bit late this year so the garden was not so advanced as we have seen if before; looking back at last years April visit shows a lot more green in the hedges and foliage. It was still quite cool on our visit and the wind was quite blustery which made getting some photos a bit difficult. In addition, as our visit was in the public visiting hours, I couldn’t use a tripod – everything was hand held.<\/p>\n

However, I did manage a few panoramic images. The first one is a view from the Dutch Garden that I had not considered before. This works quite well although I need to try again when the hedges are greened up. I also tried a panoramic views of the daffodils:<\/p>\n

\"Daffodils<\/a>This worked surprisingly well considering the windy conditions. Not noticeable on this size is the evidence of movement on some of the blooms in the full size image. But this is not severe, even on a full screen image you have to go looking for the problem areas.<\/p>\n

I also took some closer views of some of the flowers in pots:<\/p>\n

\"Hyacinths<\/a>This\u00a0 image is of hyacinths in pots in the Dutch Garden. I like the blend of colours in this – the pink and white go well together. Although there are the yellow and red tulips in the background, they do not distract.<\/p>\n

I took this view of a garden that I had not photographed much before:<\/p>\n

\"view<\/a>One reason I had not photographed it before was the difficulty of showing everything. This time I used panoramic techniques to construct this image – it is a blend of 15 photographs!<\/p>\n

Overall, a worthwhile visit to see the garden in its post-winter state.<\/p>\n

More photographs can be seen on the East Ruston Old Vicarage Gardens gallery<\/a>, and the panoramic views in the panorama gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n
