Several days ago we paid our first visit to the gardens at RHS Hyde Hall:<\/p>\n

\"Robin<\/a>This was an unplanned visit but as we were in the area we decided to pay a visit. The first photo that I show was taken about halfway through the visit in the afternoon and shows a Robin singing. This was just a quick grab shot so I was quite pleased how it turned out with its beak wide open.<\/p>\n

In the gardens were facilities for wildlife including piles of logs for lizards to use:<\/p>\n

\"lizards\"<\/a>This is an enlargement from the centre of the image – I tried to take a succession of photos as I moved closer but my movement disturbed them and one ran off. However I was quite pleased with this as it stands.<\/p>\n

Although I did take flower photos (which you can see in the gallery) I was trying to show views that were different from the usual snaps:<\/p>\n

\"Woodland<\/a>This shows a woodland path to the side of some of the more formal gardens. I must admit a prefer this more informal, almost naturalistic, type of view. Even though I took it myself, I do like this view…<\/p>\n

Crab apples in the sun:<\/p>\n

\"crab<\/a>These make a nice colourful study – I wonder how many people visiting the gardens stop and look at the colour and, dare I say it, beauty of such fruit. For me this is just as interesting as any type of flower.<\/p>\n

You can see the full set in my personal gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
