Botanic Gardens

Today we went for a gentle stroll through the Wellington Botanic Gardens which start at the bottom of our street. Photographs courtesy of Dave Firth and the anonymous bystander who took this one of the group of us in the summer house by the duck pond.

The spring flowers are coming on nicely

and the garden is waking up after the winter rest,

There are a number of scultures dotted around the park including a Henry Moore work

and the Rudderstone which has an interesting see through effect caused by reflections.
