My world Tuesday.

Since we were in the Cotswolds in England for 5 days on holidays a few weeks ago I am posting many photo’s from that  what is called the most outstanding area of natural beauty in England. 






















This is my favorite. In person it is so beautiful, I just couldn’t go to the back to make more photo’s.

Kom je eens kijken? De give-away geldt ook voor dat blog.

Skywatch Friday.

Skywatch Friday is a weekly meme with photo's from skywatchers from all over the world.

This week I have photo's of a beautiful English sky above stunning lavender fields.
 I couldn't believe what I saw. So beautiful. Several different colors in rows. Never seen anything like it. And that gorgeous smell!
 In person it is even more breathtaking. The Snowshill lavender farm is in the Cotswolds in a little village called Broadway.

Happy skywatch Friday. For more skies from all over the world go here:http://skyley.blogspot.com/

Don't forget my give-away.

Alphabe Thursday.

Alphabe Thursday is hosted by Jenny Matlock. This week we need to come up with words beginning with the letter N.

Yesterday I posted mostly flowers from a park called Nymans. It used to be a beautiful estate  but I will let you see there is Nobody there.

The park and the gardens are still beautiful , kept so by the National Trust in England.

 

Nothing left but walls. Isn’t it sad.

 

Dahlia’s in full  bloom.

 

The chapel also had nothing left.

 

 

 

There were a few rooms left to show us how the owners lived.

 

 

Beautiful china.

 

 

 

So romantic.

 

 

So much work to keep that in shape.

 

 

 

 

It was nice to sit there.

 

 

Sweet smelling beautiful roses.

 

And more roses.

This is it for today. Hope you enjoyed looking at my photo’s. Have a lovely Thursday and remember my give-away

Blue Monday and Mosaic Monday

First of all I want to say it is give-away time because of my three years of blogging. At the bottom of this post I will tell more.
Now , as some of you may know we were in England these last two weeks for our holidays . What a beautiful country it is. I made more than a thousand photo’s so  there is a lot to show in the next weeks. We visited  the most beautiful gardens, houses and palaces .  I am going to have to sort it all out first and then take  one day at a time.
For blue Monday  hosted by Sally of Smiling Sally I have these photo’s . I love this clear blue in flowers. Just gorgeous.
I just read Sally is in hospital. Get better soon Sally!

Pink Saturday.

Today I celebrate my 3rd anniversary in blogland.  In July 2008 I started blogging and in November of that year I joined Beverly at Pink Saturday. Now that really started me blogging. I began in my former blog.
In 2009 I started my  blog Riet’s Photoblog  and I still post here a few times each week. Now to really celebrate my anniversary I will  be having a give-away starting July 18th, after our two weeks holiday in England. By that time I hope to have everything ready to make a photo of what I chose. The give-away will end at August 7.
Now for Pink Saturday hosted by sweet Beverly of How sweet the Sound I made a collage of beautiful pink summer flowers in my cousins garden. There even is a little red, white and blue  here also.
Happy pink Saturday!
