Actually in County Carlow – but such a beautiful walk, in wonderful summer weather, around Altamont Gardens near Tullow this morning, with lovely company (neither Dolores or Mary are on Facebook). Lovely that these immaculately tended, extensive gardens are open again (with restrictions) this summer. 
What a setting for this grand house! ❤️ 
Thanks Mary & Dolores for the sunny company on our walk……. 
The Walled Garden will be even more spectacular & colourful in a few weeks…… but still beautiful. 
Spot the duck & ducklings 🐥 🦆 – they found quite the spot, and viewpoint! 
Very ‘Monet’! 🖼 
Tree reflections in the lily pond / lily lake – always magical.
