Walkway along the horse-yard fence

This pathway leads from the top of the rose garden down the hill to the bottom of the garden. Dick had to shift this fence and electrify it because the horses would lean over and eat what they could reach. This row of roses ended up like a hedge. You can't see the rest of the roses in this shot, only "Coppelia" which often has hips and blooms at the same time in autumn. I walk this path almost daily.

A beautiful rose along the path. Mine are starting to bloom a lot now and it is supposed to freeze tonight! :(

Perfect shallow isolation of this BEAUTY!!!

What a beautiful place, no wonder the horses loved to look inside and smell the roses :)

Must be a great place to live ..... the walk looks very inviting. Well done.

daily paths are the ones most cherished. We can clearly see your interest in those grounds.

Hey Yvonne, this I like. We now see just some more than only a Rose. It sure contributes. V

If I were a horse I'd be standing by the fence with a mournful look - that fresh green foliage looks very tasty. ;-)

Love the pools of light in the background, the shallow DoF really throws the focus on the rose
