'Capability' Brown for today's Gardeners, Farmers, and Foresters.

'Capability' Brown for today's Gardeners, Farmers, and Foresters... 

You've probably heard mention of 'Capability' Brown once or twice of late, and I must warn you that you'll probably be hearing it repeatedly right through until the end of 2016!

Stowe

January 2nd visit to Stowe Landscape was a real treat, blowing away those Christmas excesses in grand style. The image is but one of a number - there were so many photo moments due to the amazing landscape and wonderful blue sky from dawn till dusk.

A Flavour of Charlecote

Took ourselves off for a winters walk in the sunshine at Charlecote Park this afternoon. Not as adventurous as some I admit, but quite an achievement given the toss up between another feet-up-in-the-warm day and the hard frost that awaited any adventure!

It turned out to be a brilliant afternoon, and as it was a family visit, I opted not to take all the camera kit, just the DSLR slung over my shoulder.... and typically, due to the frost and sunlight, there was a photo opportunity at every step!

Anyway, here's a selection of my better results - can't wait to get out & take some more!





Looking from Charlecote village area towards the house, a couple of isolated fallow deer keep their heads down near an old tree grove.
