Taken in the gardens at Hinton Ampner House, a National Trust property Near Winchester, Hampshire.

Is it just me or does staring at this make anyone else's eyes go funny? Try viewing large :-)

Yes, it's like staring at one of those 3d pictures :-))
I love the way it fans out in a starburst from the middle and is enhanced by the
smooth backdrop! The gardens at Hinton Ampner House must have been really
beautiful Keith.

Enjoy your weekend and your trip next week. Our dog sitting is over now. I'm
missing her already, even though she wore me out ;-))

Glad to see I'm not the only one who sees the effect. I didn't notice it until I got in on the computer screen.

Thank you for your lovely comments...........and yes, the greens there are always beautiful.

I know what you mean about dog sitting.........we had our older daughter's dog last weekend :-). He pretty good, but never quite settles down when he's away from his "Mum". I think he's always glad to get away home!

It looks like we're in for a rainy week in Exmouth.....but we'll still get out and about when we can!

Fabulous capture Keith it looks as though it is about to explode !
Amazing detail and lovely colours with superb bokeh, and as sharp as it comes!
I suspect it will still be beautiful when it reaches maturity !

Thoroughly enjoyed this excellent capture ! Have a good weekend,
