Elephant Sanctuary

Cathy and I met up with my sister, Happy_Janwen and her husband Incredibish for lunch and a guided tour of the gardens at Highgrove.  Unfortunately it poured for much of our tour, but the garden still looked beautiful and the scent of the plants in the rain was really quite heady at times.

The gardens are absolutely wonderful, the only downside being that for security reasons, this being one of King Charles's residences, one is not allowed to take photographs of them. It has to be said that this is a terrible shame because there are some truly delightful vistas - particularly in the rain with the foliage glowing.

So this shot is of the elephant sculptures at the front of the Orangery, where the tour starts, where a photo was allowed.  Its an iPhone shot but I've done some things to it ....
