Lacock (Wiltshire, England)
After leaving Special Plants Nursery , we headed to Lacock, an English village that is virtually locked in time and owned by the National Trust. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and many of the town's structures were built in the 14th century. The village has been used for many film locations, including some of the Harry Potter f ilms, Downton Abbey , Pride and Prejudice , Cranford , etc. In addition to the residences (I cannot imagine living there with all the tourists), there were many gift stores, pubs, church and best of all, a chocolate shop. I had a delicious traditional sausage roll. St. Cyriac's Church - (Visited May 9, 2025) Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
Wow, this is fantastic! I love the Gingko. You're a true artist with color and texture. Little Miss in front of the green doesn't even look real. And the orange Stewartia in front of the purple blooms, my goodness. I'll say it again, your neighbors are so lucky!
ReplyDeleteLovely splashes of yellow and orange! That last shot is beautiful, mushrooms included.
ReplyDeleteYour photo of the Miscanthus is fantastic! I love your compositions in the garden and on film.

ReplyDeleteWonderful fall colors, Philip.
How tall is your Stewartia pseudocamellia and how long did you have it?

Oh my goodness, I swoon from all this gorgeous fall color! But I am an absolute nut for autumn. Well done Phillip!
