More with Topaz filters. I tried to leave the beautiful animal as is, while trying for a "moody" dappled light effect. Interested in what you feel.

TRUST IN ENERGY TRUST
Energy Trust of Oregon helps Oregonians make decisions that will reduce their energy costs, environmental impact, and improve the economy. People knew who they were, but misunderstood precisely what they did. We helped them simplify their messaging and describe their mission in a more accessible manner, more than tripling their name recognition in the two years we worked together.

By the 16th century the Arundell family had become well-established and was connected by marriage to nearly all the other landed families in Cornwall.
The status of the family increased through various members gaining good positions at the Royal court. Their legacy is this grand manor on a Cornish scale.
The Arundells inherited Trerice through marriage around 700 years ago. By 1572 John Arundell V had begun building the house we know today. Ten years earlier his income had been boosted by marrying well. Son of the builder of Trerice, Sir John Arundell VI earned the title John for the King due to his role in the Civil War, especially his defence of Pendennis Castle in Falmouth for Charles I.
After the restoration of Charles II, Richard Arundell became Baron Arundell in recognition of the support he and his father had given Charles I. We know little about how the Arundell family lived at Trerice. The Arundell line died out in 1768, and Trerice passed to the Aclands.
It was the marriage of John, 2nd Baron Arundell to Margaret Acland in 1675 that eventually led to the great Devonian family based at Killerton inheriting Trerice. Sir Thomas Dyke Acland never lived at Trerice but often stayed on his political forays into Cornwall. He also used the Great Hall for entertaining.
Initially arriving at Trerice as tenants of its last private owner, the Eltons took on the tenancy from the National Trust in 1953. At his own expense John Elton paid for the repair of the remaining parts of Trerice - and went on to rebuild the fallen north wing. His aim was to create a comfortable family home.
The house at Avebury has been restored by the National Trust in combination with the BBC, a national television channel. The outcome is a house typical of the period, but is not as Avebury once was. In addition some of the restoration has taken inspiration (?) from wider europe as opposed to just england. This wallpaper was handpainted and shows that craftmanship of the highest standard still exists

Cragside is a Victorian Tudor Revival country house near the town of Rothbury in Northumberland, England. It was the home of William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong, founder of the Armstrong Whitworth armaments firm. An industrial magnate, scientist, philanthropist and inventor of the hydraulic crane and the Armstrong gun, Armstrong also displayed his inventiveness in the domestic sphere, making Cragside the first house in the world to be lit using hydroelectric power. The estate was technologically advanced; the architect of the house, Richard Norman Shaw, wrote that it was equipped with "wonderful hydraulic machines that do all sorts of things". In the grounds, Armstrong built dams and lakes to power a sawmill, a water-powered laundry, early versions of a dishwasher and a dumb waiter, a hydraulic lift and a hydroelectric rotisserie. In 1887, Armstrong was raised to the peerage, the first engineer or scientist to be ennobled, and became Baron Armstrong of Cragside.
in 1977, the house was acquired by the National Trust with the aid of a grant from the National Land Fund. A Grade I listed building since 1953, Cragside has been open to the public since 1979.
This was taken in the gardens at West Green House in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire. It is a traditional English Country Manor House. It is owned by the National Trust but is leased to tenants and consequently only the gardens are open to the public.

Taking some rays . . .
One of the (now) four species of snake in the UK, grass snakes were treated as a single species until August 2017 when genetic analysis proved that the group actually contains two species rather than one. Common grass snakes (natrix natrix) like this one are green with a prominent pale collar marking (not shown here due to the snake's position) while barred grass snakes (natrix helvetica) are more grey and lack the collar. All grass snakes tend to be found near still or slow flowing water and may be seen swimming or actively hunting amphibians below the surface. They are non venomous. Taken as a whole, they are the UK's commonest snake.
This one was found warming itself in sunshine in woodland near West Bergholt, Colchester.
