Every now and then I dip back into the folders from our trip to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone last September and find another treasure buried there (among the 3,000 images that I recorded).
This was from our first night at the Jackson Lake Lodge. We were dining in The Mural Room which has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the mountain range, and I had to keep jumping up from the table to run outside onto the veranda to capture the breathtaking sunset. I think I burned enough extra calories to earn a dessert that night !
Mount Moran elevation is 12,605 feet, and it rises 6,000 feet about Jackson Lake. We could definitely feel the ~6,600 feet elevation at the Lake, since we live at sea level. Getting up the flight of stairs into the lodge required a firm grip on the handrail !
Edwardian Gardens with a story to tell.
Mount Ephraim Gardens is set in ten glorious acres of stunning Edwardian terraced gardens against a backdrop of the beautiful Kent countryside. These ten acres of gardens, set in the heart of an 800 acre estate have magnificent views over the Swale and Thames Estuaries.
The gardens feature a Japanese rock garden, water garden and lake, arboretum and a spectacular grass maze with a play area for children. They are also home to an extensive collection of spring bulbs, trees and shrubs including Rhododendrons, many types of Camelias and Magnolias.
The elaborate and unusual topiary with a miscellany` of birds, animals and First World War memorabilia in clipped yew truly captures the imagination. The Millennium Rose Garden abundant with scented roses and a traditional herbaceous border complete this stunning area.
Visitors can experience the sight of the Millennium Rose Garden in full bloom and the intoxicating colours and scents in mid summer. The unique 'Miz Maze' creation, planted with ornamental grasses and herbaceous perennials is something to look forward to as the days get shorter with its dancing grasses and dramatic swirls of wild flowers, which are alive with pollinating insects and wildlife best seen as the summer draws to a close.
Mount Ephraim has been home to the Dawes Family for over 300 years and is a lasting monument to a more graceful and leisurely age. Every time of year at Mount Ephraim Gardens brings it own distinctive pleasures.

History[edit]
The gardens are laid out around a Grade II listed house and 800 acres (3,200,000 m2) estate. It was originally built in 1695, then rebuilt in 1878 and then extended 1913 all for the Dawes family.[1]
The gardens were laid out in the early 1900s, but after wartime neglect (when most adult men were enlisted in wartime services) were substantially restored by Mary and Bill Dawes from the early 1950s. Mary Dawes was involved in the day-to-day running of the gardens until died in 2009, at the age of 93. Mount Ephraim has never been a 'professionally' maintained garden, but Mary had always lovingly tended it.
Description[edit]
Mount Ephraim Gardens have a large collection of spring bulbs, trees and shrubs including Rhododendrons, many types of Camellias and Magnolias. It has various areas, including the Millennium Rose Garden.
It also has a large Sweet Chestnut, planted to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. [2]
The 'Miz-maze' was planted in 2004 on the slopes of a former vineyard. Based on an ancient labyrinth called a Mizmaze (Mary Dawes, who lived at Mount Ephraim for sixty years, was always known to family and friends as 'Miz'). It was created by garden designer Sarah Morgan. Although based on a traditional labyrinth design, the layout incorporates some dead-ends, making it a hybrid between a maze and a labyrinth. The pattern of the grass paths is marked out with combinations of tall-growing ornamental grasses and colourful herbaceous perennial plants.[3]
The rock garden together with the water garden, is based on a series of pools ornamented with a Japanese stone bridge and stone lanterns.
The topiary of the garden has been cut into a various birds and animals, and also First World War memorabilia in clipped yew. The long herbaceous border, has a brick wall giving wind shelter and it provides colour throughout the flowering season.
The arboretum was planted to commemorate the late Mary Dawes' 80th birthday and also the 300 years of the family's ownership of Mount Ephraim. Sited on an artificially raised mound, the area gives far views of Blean woods, Hernhill church and the Miz Maze.
The gardens also include a Ha-ha, which was built in the 18th Century of red brick. It is about 3 feet high, and approximately 100 yards in length. It has a double curve. wikipedia...

Never have thought that in October, Mount Fuji has already a snow on its cap. Autumn below and winter above. Isn't that amazing????
This fared 53rd in the Flicker slot today. Just could not believe it. But honestly, I still dunno what has placement in rankings got to do with the photo per se.
Mount Washington in the fall. We hiked up the day before and there was no snow. The now fell overnight.
Early morning, filled myself with lots of curious and anxiety while driving in the mist. The motorway to Mount Cook is so amazing that I will never forget in my life, and....the fresh salmon slices I had at Lake Pukaki.

Mount Tamalpais, known locally as Mount Tam, is the highest peak in the Marin Hills in California. Due to its height and proximity to the ocean and bay, the mountain contains many microclimates - ranging from cool and foggy in lower ocean-facing valleys, to hot and dry on the manzanita slopes, cool and breezy at the summit, and shady at the Douglas-fir forested slopes.
