If there's one place that consistently takes my breath away, it'd be Cley, of course. This was a difficult shot because I was shooting into the sun. The bench looks very grand. It has a fabulous view over the marshes.
If you're looking for a peaceful and picturesque setting, you can't beat a golf course. The actual game of golf, maybe not so soothing.....

At Pashley Manor Gardens you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

When we first laid eyes on our puppy (a little over a year before this image of her was taken), the color told us immediately that her name must be Sedona. So, when we had a chance to take her there, of course she had to have multiple photo shoots in the region. This is one of the images from along the Oak Creek, after enduring a long 4x4 adventure that she didn't particularly enjoy, she was pleased to relax and take in the view from a stable seated position.
Congrats on Explore!

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

L'été est une période très prisées pour les courses hippiques à Chantilly.
Summer is a very popular time for horse racing in Chantilly.
The railroad passes through the center of the small town of Caliente in Kern County, California. The town received its original, name, Allen’s Camp, from Gabriel Allen, who in the 1870s had a cabin and stock pasture at the site. The Southern Pacific railroad reached the small town in 1875. This railroad terminus became a shipping point for cattle from Walker's Basin and Bear Mountain, as well as, freight bound to and from the mining town of Havilah in the southern Greenhorn Mountains. Upon arrival, the Southern Pacific Railroad established a construction headquarters at Allen’s Camp and renamed the town Caliente. For over 16 months a work force of up to 3,000 mostly Chinese men laid track up and over Tehachapi Pass. It was heavy construction which included the famous Tehachapi Loop constructed by Southern Pacific's civil engineer, William Hood. To keep grades around 2% through the pass, Hood elected construct a loop which would pass over itself as a means of gaining elevation. Built during a period of time when almost no type of heavy machinery existed except dynamite the loop was built using a large force of laborers. Hood's loop used cut and fill methods to keep the grade at no greater than 2.2%, which, of course, featured a short tunnel and overpass. It ultimately covered about 3/4 of mile gaining an impressive 77-feet in elevation over the short distance. After all these years the loop is still in use, a testament to outstanding engineering.
The monument was erected in 1934 by Tsar Boris III in honor of the Russian & Bulgarian soldiers who defended the Shipka pass in the course of the Russo-Turkish war of 1878 which resulted in restoration of Bulgaria's independence after nearly 500 years of Ottoman rule.
Памятник был установлен в 1934 г. царём Борисом III в честь русских и болгарских солдат, удерживавших перевал Шипка в ходе Русско-Турецкой войны 1878 г., в результате которой Болгария вновь обрела независимость после почти 500 лет владычества Османской империи.
Finally, summer has come to the seven mountains. And all the mice, deer, badgers, squirrels and foxes have noticed it, too. A fact that can turn ordinary walks with Buba into quite an adventure. So, it's no walk without a check cord... except for this photo, of course ;)
In 1965 I was at primary school when the Beatles released the film Help! One of the songs in the film was Ticket to Ride, which is the subject of my theme for this week. Issued at one of the many heritage steam railways I visit and! Of course it is only as a “Day Tripper”. Happy Macro Mondays.
