That is not a particular Magnolia type btw just how they appear to me. I had to shortlist on from the more than a dozen I I photographed of a tree in the grounds of Gunby hall but found it difficult to make a decision which to upload and in about five minute flat it is highly likely i will wish I had uploaded one of the others. Decision making is a big problem for me - and that is a actually a bit of an understatement. This pair got the vote because they were unblemished to begin with although the clone tool took care of the rest...
Symbolism of Magnolia
The magnolia flower meaning is attached with the symbols of nobility, perseverance, and love of nature. Soft and subtle in color yet strong in appearance, the flower is representative of the beauty encompassing femininity and gentleness.
The house is built from red brick, and was constructed in 1700 for Sir William Massingberd. Many of the interiors of the house are wood paneled, and it has 8 acres of Victorian walled gardens, which contain traditional English flowers, fruits and vegetables.
The Hall is a Grade 1 listed building. It was substantially extended in 1873 and again in 1898 with the addition of the North Wing and Clock Tower.
The hall is now in the care of the National Trust.
These flowers appeared to be reaching out to me so how could I forget them. The swirl of bokeh is a little more pronounced I thought but the same set up as in the previous shot. The gardens are at Gunby Hall a National Trust property in Lincolnshire and we love a visit there and previous Cherry Blossom shots in my gallery were taken here. This is the first time I went into the house though which is very beautiful but which I feel I made a complete hash of. There are helpful people oozing with information about the house and lots of stories about the previous occupants. I would have felt rude not to hear these lovely people out but my brain became mush and my shots inside are grab shots which unfortunately do not work with a wide angle lens so I feel a big learning curve coming up..
This is another one from the gardens and is about sooc basically apart from adding the border..Sue
I have tried to catch up with everyone and if I missed you out I am sorry but as many are finding out we are having to hunt carefully yet still some are missed. I apologise and wish to thank everyone for all faves and/or comments that I appreciate more than I can adequately say.

Taken using the CZJ Pancolar On a Sony a7rm2 I have to admit to cutting myself some slack because I tried to sharpen the stamens in that central Pink rose. Still not great but my eyesight struggled. The day was dull with occasionally a little warm from the sun as in this shot. I haven't touched the colours at all..Sue :)
.... at Gunby Hall, Lincolnshire [Grade I Listed].
It was foggy this morning but was forecast to clear by 11am so we set off for Gunby thinking that, by the time we'd had a look round the house and visited the tea room, it would be nice enough to walk round the grounds. Ha! We left and arrived home at about 2.15pm and it was still foggy. An hour later the sun came out! Oh well, better luck next time.

A well known saying herabouts. It means whilst I'm on the theme of double exposures...some in camera and some in post, I meant to upload this ages ago. If you remember my photo of the old falling down barn attached to a farmhouse when trying out a new wide angle lens ? Well I had taken a photo not far from that place of the orchard at Gunby Hall and thought I would place the house in the orchard - as you do :) I like the result myself but many wouldn't and i don't expect anyone to... but here it is anyway...Sue :)

We have now returned from a stay on the Lincolnshire coast…
Some good news, some bad but the world keeps on turning.
My friend had his life saving surgery on Wednesday the tumour was successfully removed from his kidney. He says he is just happy to be alive at the moment despite being in great pain. Not three hours after receiving that news I had news of a relative by marriage who had been told the lump in her breast was cancer and they have to work out a plan of action which starts with chemotherapy before the removal…she has two little girls aged 1 and 3 and a long fight ahead. I waited to watch the latest on Ukraine before uploading a photo and in every single one of these desperate situations I can do nothing that involves waving a magic wand but do what I can like the rest of us I imagine…….
My heart is full of love and if love cured all ills none of these things would be happening…..but I shall continue to take photos and now I’m back where there is WiFi I have started to try to catch up..not everyone yet but I’m trying..Sue xx

[NT] St Peters Church. Gunby, Lincolnshire.
Situated in the leafy glade in the grounds of Gunby Hall, this delightful medieval church contains many memorials to the Massingberd family, once owners of Gunby.
The church dates to the 14th century but was comprehensively restored in 1868–1870 by Victorian architect James Fowler. It is Early English in style with limestone walls and slate roof. Inside can be seen beautifully crafted brasses showing Mr and Mrs Massingberd standing under an ornate double canopy, dating from around 1400. The stained glass east window dating 1906 is in memory of Margaret Massingberd. The Massingberd family is long established in Lincolnshire, tracing its descent to Lambert Massingberd of Sutterton on the Wash who was convicted of grievous bodily harm in Boston in 1288. Through the marriage of Sir Thomas Massingberd to Joan de Bratoft in 1495 the lands of Bratoft and Gunby and the moated manor house at Bratoft came into the family, surrounded by fish ponds and an extensive park. An Elizabethan garden seems to have adorned Bratoft Manor, of which archaeological remains can be seen in the landscape today.
During the Civil War the Massingberd brothers, Henry and Drayner, fought on the Parliamentary side. Both brothers prospered under the Commonwealth of Oliver Cromwell. Drayner went on to found the branch of the family seated at South Ormsby in Lincolnshire. Henry served as High Sheriff of the county and was rewarded with a baronetcy by Cromwell. This was probably because of Henry's generosity to the State in maintaining thirty foot soldiers in Ireland for three years keeping the peace after the bloody campaigns of 1649-51.
It was Sir Henry’s son, Sir William, the second baronet, who decided to move the family home across the fields from Bratoft to Gunby.

Well this came from Gunby Hall Gardens too and using the same set up as in the two previous photos'.

Dandelions (Taraxacum). Beauty in their demise.
The cheery yellow flowers and ‘clock’ seedheads of dandelions are a familiar sight throughout the Great Britain. Although not always welcome in formal, manicured lawns, dandelions are a great way to attract wildlife and increase biodiversity gardens. Botanists have identified over 200 micro-species of Taraxacum in Britain; close inspection is needed to tell them apart. Dandelions are now known to have many benefits and uses, transforming gardeners’ opinions from weed to wildlife plant.

I had a wonderful time at The National Trust Gunby Hall Estate in Lincolnshire. It was fascinating to find out about its place in history, listen to the descriptions of the rooms from the friendly Trust volunteers, the little anecdotes and so much more.
The Estate comprises the 42-room Gunby Hall. It's a Grade I Listed Building. It dates back to 1700.
The Clock Tower, Carriage House and Stable Block all date back to 1735 and are all Grade II Listed Buildings.
In 1944 the trustees of the Gunby Hall Estate, Lady Montgomery-Massingberd, Major Norman Leith-Hay-Clarke and Field Marshal Sir Archibald Montgomery-Massingberd, gifted the house to the National Trust together with its contents and the 1,500 acres of land.
The principal part of Gunby Hall was built at the end of the 17th century for Sir William Massingberd on the site of a small manor house that had once belonged to a family called Gunby. The 3-storey, 7-bay house was built of red brick, some brought from Holland in 1699, and the rest probably dug from the brickfield that is now the Icehouse Pond in the park. The exterior is distinctly formal; the only ornament is a doorway on the west front with an elaborately scrolled, broken segmental pediment enclosing a cartouche of arms. The interior decoration is restrained with simple early 18th-century panelling and an early Georgian staircase with a moulded ceiling.

Excerpt from heritageburlington.ca:
3175 No. 1 Sideroad was built in 1853, and is a structure with a combination of Regency and Gothic Revival style and a Victorian style addition.
Another test for my new FE 14mm F1.8 GM lens.
The distortion was minimal and I just cropped from the left hand side to crop out a lady in the corridor. I wouldn't use this lens in most photographic opportunities but it is simply horses for courses and I was annoyed when having to resort to using my Iphone 12 pro as if I give in to using my phone I always regret it. It takes great photos but using my camera is simply my
preference :) if the occasion allows it.
The Comma butterfly has very distinctive jagged edges to its wings.
This one was photographed at Gunby Hall {Lincolnshire, UK}.
