I love jumping across stepping stones Shirl ,That looks to be a pretty place , I don't know how you did that but it's clever I haven't looked at Picasa for a long time I shall have to take a look to see what can be done !!

:)) At the first moment I thought, your husband had exhibition of paintings somewhere in the park. Now I know. Very original :)

He didn't go right across I might add Amy, too scared of getting wet if he slipped!! - which would be more than likely, Ha ha!!
This was at Abbey House Gardens, Malmesbury owned by the naked gardeners!! They do actually do gardening in the altogether apparently!!
It is a beautiful place, the house is on top of a rise & this little river is in a deep ravine. They do have gardens on the level as well!
I was trying to do what you had done Amy, but this didn't really turn out to look very natural!! All the pics are still square & I couldn't find out how to change them. I must have another go.
As Katerina says - it looks more like an exhibition of paintings!!

Naked gardeners? What? :))

8 Nov, 2012

 

Yes! it's true Katerina. Look it up on your search engine - 'Abbey Gardens Malmesbury U.K.'
They don't do it all the time of course, but quite a lot when weather is warm!!!

Thank you Shirwirl, and I wish you a good luck with your experiments. It is very nice you do it. I never tried it, but it seems quite a good hobby to create your own world in pictures :)))

kat I tried to explain to you how to put the cats etc on your photos on Powerpoint on my photo I don't know if you saw it or not ?

10 Nov, 2012

 

Yes Amy, I saw on their info that you could spend certain days there with them, in the buff!, but haven't tried it!!!! Bit chilly in this country!
I will have another look at blogs.
I wonder if I can get Powerpoint, you are saying you did your 'cats' picture with it.

Veni, vidi :)
If I ever travel to the UK, I would like to visit these gardens first. And in December! Lol.
Statues are so beautiful, I recognize one of them from previous blogs.
That gardener without trousers but with jacket on, reminds me old Slovak proverb - never sell your trousers, that is Slovak version of American cowboys´s wisdom "never sell your saddle" :))

Reason, I gave them a quantity of surplus plants they wanted.
