Now we head to the ponds.
This area is beautifully landscaped. I was here after a heavy rain, and the ponds were all murky, but that did not stop the artist from setting up an easel.
I can image this slope changing through the seasons, but I have to say the red poppies are lovely.
A small stream.
The ponds are really a nice feature and we move on, but the ponds show up again. They can be seen from many vantage points.




















So much inspiration! Thank you for chronicling your visit so beautifully!
It is still wonderful to look at despite the murky water.
That Chanticleer has a very very wide area. You still have 4 to go before we see you again in person
How lovely and tranquil this looks – the colour and the poppies !! I am keen to add them in my meadow, along with corn flowers. Now I can see that it will all look marvelous!
So lush green and beautiful!
I love that slope below the gravel garden and above the ponds. And you are right—it is beautiful in every season but the poppies are the best.
How beautiful photos! I love poppies!

Beautiful post my friend ,thanks for sharing
Donna these are lovely which is why that artist finds this area perfect for their canvas…the lupines with the poppies are a wonderful contrast.
Lovely gardens. Thank you for posting such gorgeous photos.
