My 3rd pic is - this little chappie ran out into the mud with his wellies on and got stuck, his Dad came to rescue him and pulled him out of the mud, but without his wellies? His poor Mum had to go and rescue his wellies for him. Wonder if the wellies were Gold colour - like his Gold-ish socks?.

Bodnant Gardens Post 2

Here we are - still at Bodnant Gardens - as we walk passed the water area and the flowers(another post if you wish)down to the bridge and cross over into the wooded part and follow the stream.

Ah, here are the stepping stones, we will cross here to - as we are on the way to the waterfall

Here's another view of the waterfall, as we stand on the bridge overlooking and d-o-w-n into the swirling water of the fall.

Wales 2

Welcome to Bodnant Gardens - Cick to see more info - Wales - near Conwy.
The most famous Laburnum Arch which is 55 metres long tunnel of pure yellow flower (Late May and Early June) the sight and smell is just wonderful.

Plenty of walks around the gardens and then walk down to the woodland area and follow the stream and cross over the bridges.

Just find the Meconopsis - Blue Himalayan Poppy in bloom too - if you want to photograph this Poppy, you just might have to wait a while to get just the right shot.

Follow the stream further and find the waterfall - do you like a waterfall to look like its movement or or you one that likes to see it sharp in focus.
All in all Bodnant Gardens is a certainly worth a visit - There's something to see whichever season you visit

Do you want to see more of Bodnant Gardens???..
