Close to the anemone

What a lovely day and great to use our National Trust membership at Coughton Court home to the Throckmorton family and famously connected to plotting to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
This grand house dating from the 1500s stands a beautiful formal gardens and these lead through to a walled garden where I took many of the flowers still in bloom including this white anemone. I have gone for the macro shot of the centre of the bloom but had difficulty choosing just which shot to go for today including some wider angle images of the house itself and the riverside walk.

In the family's Catholic Church grave yard I found this inscription on the late 11th Baronet Sir Robert Throckmorton's grave stone
'To see the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour'
