Arboretum = a place of trees.
This one is 85 acres in North Yorkshire. Thorpe Perrow near Bedale (James Herriot country) is a glorious place.
With a small animal section and birds of prey.


The house and lake.


Red Oak Avenue.


Meercat at animal section


Owl's about that.

The shot of the house and lake is beautiful. A fine pose from the Meerkat. They’re such funny little creatures. And very nice work on the close-up of the owl.

Thanks Aine. The owl flew from the handler to the seat next to me, but I need between 1-2 metres for the Tamron to focus and the little divil was nearer. So I had to gallop around the arena as it went to different areas.:/ Still its fun.

Very beautiful place NT. The gardens look beautiful...

I also like a lot your close up of the owl...

Sometimes it happens to us that the falconer comes closer to show us the bird for a picture but he comes so close that you just can't get the picture.

Very nice shots NT,

I particularly like the composition in ROA.

Thanks Irma and Uli.

Red oak ave.
I wanted the flowers in but they were not really where I wanted them.
You can't go replanting them .

Yes - the second shot is so beautiful ( I can just see a bride and groom walking along there )
