Meadow Brown in the Meadow Bodnant.

 



One of my favourite places at Bodnant is the meadow. It is a calm tranquil place in the garden away from the crowds. June marks the arrival of the early butterflies feeding on the knapweed flowers.

Bodnant from a different angle.

 



Situated within the terrace gardens is a bust to the great-uncle of Anne McLaren, Walter Stowe Bright McLaren, a Liberal MP who is remembered for his support for women’s rights to citizenship. He died in 1912

A dry day at Bridgewater.

 


In contrast to last years lush gardens at Bridgewater. This year was more of a dull and dusted Landscape especially in my favourite place the Paradise Garden. It is very very rare that I come away from the garden and my best picture is that taken in the gift shop. These are these glass vases were backlit as we left for the evening.

A phone that does raw files.



Photography these days is more a case of technology rather than traditional camera makes to know.We know have iPhones which intake raw files. My iPhone 14  can now produce files of 45 megapixels. A lot of cameras don't have so many pixels. Is it now time to change and let technology take over.
