A Gentle Stroll

On Sunday morning we had a gentle stroll around grounds of the Wolseley Centre, headquarters of the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust.  Below are some of the things I spotted as we walked

Glossy red currants


A beautiful Acer tree


A ladybird on a teasel

Ducks on a misty lake

A red eared terrapin (I think!)

Swans snoozing on the River Trent

A badger mosaic - logo of the Wildlife Trusts

Rowan berries

Burdock burrs

 The new boardwalk

I'll be back after the weekend with some photos taken yesterday in the gardens at Tatton Park.

  1. I'm trying to think of somewhere nice to go this weekend. This is a possibility! Although I was thinking more of retail therapy.

  2. Oh I'm so glad they raised enough money for the new board walk! Last time I was there they were fundraising but I hadn't heard anything since.
