Late May visit to East Ruston Old Vicarage

Towards the end of last month we made another visit to the gardens at East Ruston Old Vicarage:

wisteria in the dutch garden

The weather was very good for this visit – interesting sky (some high clouds and fluffy white clouds) and, for much of the time, little wind.

The first photo shows the wisteria in the Dutch Garden. I think we timed the visit when this was at its best – it looked gorgeous.  Looking for a different angle, I looked up from the path under the wisteria and saw this:

One thing I have learnt from visiting these gardens is that it is always worth looking around – there are visual treasures to be seen in unexpected places.

Everywhere there were things to see and photograph – this shows clianthus growing in the walled garden.

At the end of the visit I used my fish-eye lens to take a few shots – this is one of the best:

but I also liked this view of the wisteria:

Magic!
