Catch the Autumn Colours at Fota Gardens and Arboretum

 Autumn Colours 
at Fota Gardens and Arboretum
(Taken 17.11.2022)

Catch one of this week's sunny spells and head on down to Fota to see the Autumn colours before they fade away. Only charge is the three euro parking fee.


Make a jigsaw?





Water droplets caught by the sun



Necklace of drops

A little misty haze rise from the hedges and plants as the sun warms the morning air.







Another jigsaw?


The Italian Garden. Often wonder why the gates to this are always closed.

The thorny mahonia x media charity

Ready for Santa (and more!)
