Mount Stewart

The original plan today was to head up to the North Coast, but the weather forecast wasn't so peachy so instead we went to the National Trust property Mount Stewart. We walked around the lake, and spent about 20 minutes taking pictures of ducks and swans. The mamma duck in particular kept coming very close; I like to think she had taken a shine to us but I think she was probably actually protecting her babies...

I did get some good pictures of the ducks, but I liked this one best as you can see both the beautiful house and the formal gardens. Although the ducks were beautiful too. It was a tough call.
