Orange Glow

In need of fresh air and exercise, I headed over to Greys Court near Henley with a picnic lunch and just the long lens on the camera.

The forecast was for a risk of showers (as opposed to the overnight storms which kept me awake) but it stayed dry, though very warm and muggy. So I had a reasonably pleasant walk around the house and gardens carrying my "baby" lens, which caused a number of people to comment on and have a good chat - mainly of the nature "Are you a professional?". No!

There was quite a lot of colour in the gardens, although some of the trees are already showing signs of autumn.  I was particularly drawn to the colourful dahlias, many of which had "visitors" (look large!) especially this bright orange one. Just right for Flower Friday.
