Lords and Ladies
23rd May 2010
This morning I visited Moore Hall. Its a great place to visit. The hall lies in the middle of a large wood with lovely walks. The hall itself is in need of some repairs, the property might suit someone who has an interest in DIY !! Sorry I could not resist that !
Today the hall looked great, it was bathed in sunlight and as I approached from the deep shade of the trees it looked spectacular. I could imagine horses and carriages coming up and down the avenue and life being good for the halls occupants.
Anyway having photographed the hall I turned my attentions to the woods and was amazed by the numbers of “Lords and Ladies” that were flowering under the deep shade of the trees. It seemed a very appropriate place for the Lords and Ladies to gather!
I headed back to Westport to open the Gallery for 10.30, I was halfway there when I realized I had left my filter bag on the forest floor when photographing a birds nest orchid, So I drove back and retraced my steps. It was a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack , but after 10 minutes or so I found it.
The good thing about going back was that I approached the hall from the side and took this picture from within the woods.
