Mid October visit to East Ruston Old Vicarage

We managed to choose another fine, sunny day for this visit (our 10th of the season!):

This first image is of red crab apples against a glorious blue sky - although how your screen is set up will determine how glorious the colours look. For this visit I wanted to shoot a few more unusual views that people wouldn't normally notice - I have rarely seen people looking high up at the sky.

For this second image, I have chosen a rather cheeky image:

I am sure the owners would not mind such a shot - the room is beautifully set out and there is nothing to stop visitors looking in - it invites viewing. Rather than press the camera lens against the glass, I kept the glazing bars to show that we are on the outside looking in. I like also the way the sun illuminates the fruits.

This third image is of a walkway through silver birch trees. I love the way the red dogwood glows in the low autumn sun. It is better than in the summer.

In this image I saw some detail that I, and I suspect many others, have overlooked. It is a small stone garden ornament tucked down at the bottom of a brick gate pillar. Small detail like this is so easy to miss...

In our previous visits, the doors to this greenhouse have been open - this is the first time I have seen them closed. The plants in the greenhouse have been well pruned back so the greenhouse itself is lighter and less cluttered.

In this final image, I show some detail just to the left of the doors in the photo above. Small detail like the small galvanised watering can I had not noticed before, possibly because the doors were open. A small but very pleasant arrangement.

The full set taken on this day can be accessed from my page dedicated to these gardens (I have moved the old gallery)
