Visit to the RHS Hyde Hall garden: #5from7photo

On Thursday we visited the RHS garden at Hyde Hall in Essex. We try to visit at least once a year when we are down that way visiting family. Below I show a selection of photos taken with my compact camera:

More colour in an adjacent garden
I just love the tones of these blue-silver thistles – I took several photos of these as there were a few different varieties around
Sitting on a bench in the gardens, this shows the panoramic view view in front of us
This is what attracted us to the bench…
