Yesterday we went to a little antique market and i purchased lovely antique photos and a tiny stamp photograph book (i will show them to you when i go back home). after the antiques we visited in an old church, but i only took photos outside; little lambs wandering in the church yard got all of my admiration. One of my favorite photos is above this writing, doesn't the lambs and hawthorn trees look lovely together?
The first few days where really rainy, when i was with Eileen in that man's garden the rain was pouring on us, but i truly do not feel down about it. Yesterday Eileen and her husband took me to the place where Buddhist temple is build next to an old mansion... i could not believe when we walked behind the old mansion, which was build i think in 1800 century. there was a old forest with many old old trees, i have never seen trees so beautiful! I think one of the yew trees must have been much more than just few hundred years. and then there was also douglas fir tree, which was absolutely beautiful. the woodland was filled with old rhododendrons, they where truly like trees, hundreds of years old. I think someone who have planted those rhododendrons would be truly amazed to see them now. under the one rhododendron most flowers had dropped upon the ground. i saw also very many bluebells and wildgarlic, the scent is just wonderful especially when it rains.
Just beautiful!
