I found a couple more lurkers in my archives. I think they were glad to finally get out of there.

ISLE OF MAN

There are 15 acres for you to explore in this historical setting, packed full of horticultural wonders. These range from ornamental gardens, water features and enchanted woodland walks.

The microclimate, from the gulf stream and the shelter belt from the hills behind, enable Milntown’s grounds to be filled with horticultural wonders all within a scenic landscape.

Il y a 15 acres à explorer dans ce cadre historique, rempli de merveilles horticoles. Ceux-ci vont des jardins d'ornement, des pièces d'eau et des promenades enchantées dans les bois.

Le microclimat, du Gulf Stream et de la ceinture de protection des collines derrière, permet aux terrains de Milntown d'être remplis de merveilles horticoles dans un paysage pittoresque.

My DSLR was broken, so I used an old Coolpix P510.

For my dear daughter. She loves ducks :) and she encouraged me to post them.

Many thanks for all your recent kind comments and favourites.

A mother Australian Wood Duck (Chenonetta jubata) with her little ducklings. I love the little orange colouration on the ends of the ducklings' beaks; it makes them look like they're happy and smiling as they waddle around. The father was just to the right of frame.
