Stowe Landscape Gardens October 2014

Following an enjoyable visit to Stowe in the summer, we had great hopes of autumnal colour. Beyond the first avenue of trees, it was however a bit disappointing...... not the fault of Stowe, just the "wrong" weather this year to get the best out of the deciduous trees. A few nice areas though. It was very quiet, and only saw about a dozen people during our visit, so used them where possible, to add a bit of life to the landscapes.



Co-incidentally, it was also my "Blip birthday" as I was to
publish my 365 consecutive photograph on Blipfoto.com today.




This tree bark was also very colourful.  Hubby in the distance wit his tripod.

This large Beech tree was the star of the day. At least whilst the sun was shining. Later, we lost the sun
and the colour was gone.


The large Beech also provided lovely shadows beneath.

Good day for reflections too.

Just 2 of only a dozen or so that we saw the whole time!

The sun came and went and at times the light went completely flat, but at this
point, great reflections and I liked the bit of grasses as foreground. 

Set my tripod up here for 20 mins whilst we ate lunch. Kept hoping
that the sun might return to light up the carpet of leaves..... it never did.
