Travel Theme: Parks.........................An English Country Garden

I may not be from the land down under but I am most definately from the land of parks, wild-life reservations,  sanctuarys, national trust sites and world wildlife preservation areas.  England is chock a block with green and verdent parkland  containing a lot of wildlife.  Here is a photographic trip around one of my favourite parks which epitomises the song: -

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow       In an English country garden?       We’ll tell you now of some that we know       Those we miss you’ll surely pardon       Daffodils, heart’s ease and phlox       Meadowsweet and lady smocks       Gentian, lupin and tall hollyhocks       Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots       In an English country garden

 

But  it’s not just flowers and shrubs that abound in this verdent land

sculptures – old and modern

plenty of wild-life

However in this particular park I was surprised to see a stranger in the normal mix of birds, bunnies, bees and butterflies.

Yep an Albino Wallaby ………..in an English Country Garden.
