 Flora
 Flora at Roselle Park

In keeping with the tradition of all English country houses, the grounds at Roselle Park feature a collection of well stocked and tended ornamental flower borders, containing interest and colour for most of the year round. The were times however, when I used to feel the need for a little less horticultural organisation and found myself spending many tranquil hours in the company of  nature herself in some of the most secluded corners of the estate, where one could observe the seasons passing in perpetuity, unhindered by any intervention of man.   Please bide a while here and enjoy some of the moments I captured on film in appreciation of the natural beauty so many of us take for granted.
