So beautiful - the Isabella Plantation, Richmond Park

Early May at the Isabella Plantation, Richmond Park, is my favourite time to visit

When the rhodes, magnolias and azaleas are blooming.

Except perhaps an equal favourite time to visit is in October when the rut is in full swing. The noise of the roaring stags and the theatre created by their territorial skirmishes is awesome

                                  


In the old days when I had my wonderful dog Kayli we would have fun in the Isabella. Now she's gone but this stump is still there. More overgrown, but each time I visit it I shed a tear for my soulmate doggie.

Now the fun is had with my blokey

and a selfie stick

I haven't doctored this pic, it just turned out like that. 

Another view of the city from Richmond Park. Stag with the Shard on its head. (nope, not doctored)

More October rut pics.
