Attingham

An elm skeleton in the landscape:



That's the Wrekin in the distant Summer haze:



And wood dapple in the park grounds:





A stand of native foxgloves:



This gate and fence caught my attention:



A waterway runs through the grounds:



Kine!



More kine. These are the wonderfully old fashioned English dairy shorthorn which you rarely see these days:



The guy in the middle there is a rather splendid  Herefordshire bull. They kept still for us as they were enjoying the shade under a stand of trees:



Another nice stand of trees, this time with no kine:



Another elm skeleton:

The dead tree reminded me of this Surrey landmark:

No idea if it's still there.
