who could ever resist the natural beauty of the beautiful garden Cherie….peter:)
This one sure is a beauty
Is this garden on a hillside, Cherie? It is very lovely

I do LOVE the picture, so beautiful, so wonderful colours.
I think you have it just right Astrid
this is a great shot. i like this crop and the colours are very nice indeed
Thank you Ayush
Detached from what?

Bit late to this, but Cherry has with that image given a very good reason for anyone at this time of year to visit the magnificent Rhododendron gardens that this country has to offer.
There is something about them that is just breathtaking, and as well as the above Bodnant, Exbury, The Savill Gardens, Glendoick, Trenwainton, Leornardslee, Bowood and many others should be if near visited in the coming month, it is one of the great sights of spring.
Thank you for the recommendations
