This was essentially a family day out (with the in laws in tow) on a hot, sunny day that I knew would have some good photo opportunities. So glad I brought a macro lens! I was able to take some very pleasing shots with it. Nothing was planned as such for the shots, I just turned up a explored what was there. Everything was hand held. If I was to go back again I would take a tripod and a little more time around some of the gardens to get some more details in.
