Good Morning Everyone,

My contribution for Helen's Theme is a view of the gazebo at Studley Royal Gardens which are attached to Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire.

If anyone has never been there, I can reccommend it as a very enjoyable day out. I am including a link which will give you more information about the site. To access it, please click here.

Besides the extensive water gardens, there are lots of wild birds on the lakes. We saw Canada Geese, Coots, Mallards, Greylag Geese and Swans amongst others.

The site is owned by The National Trust and lots of information can be gained from them. If you are a member, then admission is free.

Many thanks for stopping by.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph. :-)
