    1. Hehe... I wish I could say it was mine... but then maybe not! That's one heck of a lawn! It's the grounds of Floors Castle just outside of Kelso in the Scottish Borders.
      Floors Castle is Scotland's largest inhabited castle.
      Have a great weekend

    1. It was a fantastic weekend weather wise Sara,
      I'm hoping when we next visit we will be as lucky and the sun will shine.
      Enjoy your weekend.

    1. We were very lucky to capture it because the road was winding and I'd asked my hubby to stop somewhere if he could... and then a lay-by appeared. It would have been better to get nearer to the castle but I like the countryside... especially the fishermen in the river and the sheep grazing. A leisurely Sunday afternoon.

    1. It is a beautiful part of the country John, but then there are so many. I especially appreciate it after numerous years overseas.
      Have a great Sunday

    1. I have to confess that although we've had a great start to autumn, this photo was taken during the rare good summer day.
      It was a perfect place to pull over the car and stop to admire the view.

    1. It was one of the rare sunny warm-ish day over the summer. They were few and far between so we were very lucky with our trip.
      Did you notice the fisherman?
      Have a wonderful weekend Zo

    1. Hmm... not sure you'd like the temperature here. It's a tropical 12 degree's today (53F) and that's a really good day for this time of year. You'd certainly need layers and lots of thermals Sandy ;D

    1. Did you notice the fishermen too? I was thrilled that I could capture the countryside, sky, castle, sheep, river and fishermen. Oh yes and the sun was shining as an extra bonus.

    1. Thanks Cathy, I didn't think I'd be able to capture the Castle in a photo because the road was so steep and had so many twists an turns.... but thankfully there was a lay-by which enabled me to stop. I'd have liked to have captured a closer image but it'll do ;D

  15. That;s so scenic and pretty, it looks like the perfect place for a nice picnic (as much as the weather would allow right now!)

    1. I have to confess it was taken back in the summer so a picnic would have been great. The weekend we visited was thankfully a dry sunny one. There wasn't too many of those so we were lucky!
