Bowood 2013 #28: Bowood Estate

An invitation to a seminar at Bowood Hotel gave me an opportunity to extend the scope of my Bowood project by affording access to an area otherwise off limits.

It turned out that the function was being held in the Kerry Suite, a building nearby to the main Hotel and facing the golf course. The room inside was at the rear of the building with a French window overlooking more golf course and a reedy pond. I was amused to see a line of four cygnets march past the window and during the coffee break I went outside and photographed them grazing in front of the Bowood Hotel.

The seminar was followed by a complimentary lunch during which a certain amount of red wine was imbibed so a long walk afterwards was called for. I explored the path beside the golf course which at this time of year had some very fine specimens of various fungi, one of which I have chosen for my blip.

Before returning home, I had another walk in Bowood Grounds as it was close by, and found more fungi, and some leaves turning autumn gold.
