ReplyDeleteLoved it
gsh, isn't it formal? Where are all the little cottage gardens?
ReplyDeletewonderful pics! I would like nothing better than to be sitting there sketching those sculptures. They really seem to stand out against the blue sky. And that tree is quite a character, too.
ReplyDeleteOnly a short hello and thank you to all of you for visiting and leaving all those kind comments. I am very short on time for play, but wanted to add a link to photos of the Belvedere that I took on earlier occasions: click here, please.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to all of you,
Merisi
