These pictures of Towneley Hall, in Burnley show the lovely architecture. The house is set in beautiful grounds which since 1902 have been a public park,and the first shot shows a superb reflection of the house in the reflecting pool in one of the more secluded corners of the formal garden. There are some great flower beds, quite walks around the wild garden and the house itself is a museum so all in all its well worth a visit.
I love the colour of the stonework and the ivy is a lush green however I have chosen to show the final picture in black and white because I think it works well.
Today sees the start of a run of colour as I post pictures of some of the flowers I saw at Towneley Hall and gardens in Burnley on a recent visit. I had a recommendation to visit and at first it seemed a long way to go but it was well worth it. The gardens overall were quite quiet, even though it was the start of a bank holiday weekend and there were ots of different flowers to see, and a nice lawn to sit and relax on for a while doing some people watching.
So for today I have chosen a selection of pictures of Cornflowers. I love the vibrant blue and deep purple and I love the bud with serrated leaves that fold away to expose the beautiful flower. I'm sure you will agree it's a beauty...
