This time, at Forde Abbey, there were still snowdrops and the crocuses were only partially covering the lawns. It was a cold morning, although it was sunny, and there was still ice on the ponds. Even so, after a warming cup of coffee, it was good to stretch the legs and have a wander round the gardens to see what I could see.

| There is something about this statue that I find quite compelling. And it was really nice to see swans around it, especially as it's a statue of a girl with a swan. |
 |
| I'm really proud of this one. Snowdrops in their pomp. |

| The statue again, surrounded by ice. |

| A lucky moment to be holding a camera. |
 |
| I didn't expect to see piano-moving, but it's a fun spectator sport! |

 |
| I really like this one, mainly because of the less than obvious focussing. |
 |
| Camelias were out in the arboretum. |
 |
| I have no idea what these seed pods are, but they looked like bats to me. |
