Springtime Photo favourites

Just thought I'd share a few of my favourite photos that I've taken over the last couple of weeks, at National Trust properties Lacock Abbey and Kingston Lacy gardens.

A couple of bee photos to start, lovely to see the sunshine bringing out them out to find nectar.

I love the textures in this photo of moss on the very impressive Wisteria tree trunk at NT Kingston Lacy.
