The lime tree walk at Cannon Hall

Having focused on red leaves yesterday I thought I might try yellow and orange today so I began collecting images at Cannon Hall where we met my mum, dad and brother for lunch. In the end I chose this image of the lime tree walk, even though it's a bit `soft' in focus. As I looked I could envisage an impressionist painting - the light softly diffused by the mist.

Cannon Hall is one of a series of country houses in South Yorkshire that were built from the wealth acquired on the back of poor coal miners. The house is now a museum run by Barnsley Council and the site is very popular with families because it also houses Cannon Hall Farm, a popular attraction with children.

We didn't walk too far, around the walled kitchen garden, and then just far enough for my mum to visit the `tulip tree' which apparently had been brilliant red last year - not so this year as its leaves were definitely yellow. It was good to see it cooperating with my yellow photographic scavenger hunt!
