A cottage garden
These photos are of the garden of the cottage where I'm staying with friends in England. The puppy in the second photo is a new Lhasa Apso called Daisy Mae.
It's still early spring here, and flowering plants seem to be about two weeks behind their normal time. Daffodils have come and gone, and the apple tree's buds are beginning to open, but most of the colorful flowers aren't in evidence yet.
The apple tree in the garden has thousands of buds, but only a few have opened, including just one in this cluster.

Salisbury Cathedral
A photo taken in the nave of Salisbury Cathedral, arguably the most beautiful cathedral in England.
Photos from the Lake District
The best photos from my trip to England's Lake District.
Grasmere - One of the Lake District lakes. "-mere" means lake, so it's just Grasmere, not Lake Grasmere. It was very misty for part of our walk around the lake. These two photos were taken on the south shore.
Kirkstone Pass - This is a pass between some of the higher peaks (called "fells") in the lake district. Just beyond the highest point in the pass is this quaint stone bridge across a brook ("beck").
Holehird Gardens - A beautiful garden run entirely by volunteers. This tulip was growing in a bed near the entrance.
Cinder Hill - The name of the house in which we stayed in the Lake District. This building is a combination garage and garden shed.
This magnolia blossom is on a tree in the formal garden of Cinder Hill. The house itself is in the background, out of focus.
