Valley gardens of a sort,,,

Fathers day went really well, i took the girls to windsor park to some of the area’s i used to work and play…
This is the roadway from the Bailiwick pub going towards smithslawn.
I took us all through a side pathway which leads to this quiet wild glade, really peaceful here if a little overgrown..
At the shallow end of little Virginia waters lake, we found this Heron, every time i took the pic he would turn his head… typical.
Risked getting wet to get this one, he watched me balancing on the fallen branch to reach him, with shouts of encouragement from my girls ~ dad if you fall in we’ll laugh~ …. ~ dad we really will laugh alot~
On the way past the Totem pole, there is chest high grass that Holly thought was fun to go into…
then further down the pathway it’s only a foot high so they decided to lay down…
Jade in the grass too.
I used to look after these….
Just love them, pity i couldn’t get one in my garden…
Love the stems…
This was on the way back to the car, a lovely shortish but huge Pine…
Holly and Jade just had to go inside didn’t they…
This was right near the car, i loved the contrast of the metallic blue against the green needles…
Anyway hope you all had a good weekend and fathers day. thanks for looking :-)

Lovely blog S/L. I am going that way myself tomorrow on a trip with our local Horticultural Society to Savill Gardens. Really looking forward to it.
