Information below from leaflet from Minterne Gardens:
The Minterne Valley, landscapped in the manner of Capability Brown in the 18th century, has been the home of the Churchill and Digby families for 350 years. The gardens are laid out in a horseshoe below Minterne House, with a chain of small lakes, waterfalls and streams. They contain an important collection of Himalayan Rhodocdendrons and Azaleas, with Spring bulbs, Cherries, Maples and many fine and rare trees; the garden is noted for its Autumn colouring.
Of particular note are the large plants of Magnolia Campbellii which flower in March and April, together with a profusion of spring bulbs. Many flowering cherries were brought from Japan in 1920 and the Pieris Forrestii with their brilliant scarlet shoots, originally came from Wakehurst. A very fine collection of Davidia Involucrata (the pocket handkerchief tree) produce striking bracts in late May and early June, when the streams are lined with primulas, astilbes and other water plants.
From Hartkaiser we mstly followed path 7 back to Ellmau - often winding its way through mixed woodland, and dappled sunshine making its way through. We were too late for hotel tea/coffee and cakes, so Dennis got an ice cream.
Portland, Or has one of the great Japanese gardens in the US. It was designed by Takuma Tono beginning in 1963, and opened in 1967. It's all quite beautiful, even in (too) early spring.

Technique: Lines, Specular, Rule of Thirds
Post Processing: Warmed it up with color enhancement - for a more painterly effect.
Why Chose: I like the placement & curve of the path from it's starting position in the foreground to its last curve in the background; I like the specular light casting shadows along the path and brush/trees along the way; I like the effect of the light - bright at the top of the photograph and fading darker toward the bottom of the photograph; And I like the pairing of the structured lines that create the boardwalk and the natural and varying lines that the trees and branches create.
Milton Keynes continues to surprise.
This wooded pathway is in Campbell Park, right next to the main shopping area.
Jenny and I spent a pleasant Saturday afternoon wandering around this park, which continually threw up different vistas - more to come on my blog
