A great trip out today to The Weir Garden NT near Hereford, saw the first House Martins of the year too which was a nice surprise #thegardenjungle #nationaltrust #theweirgarden
Just wanted to share this Tulip from Belton House. I think it’s the most symmetrical (almost) Tulip I’ve ever photographed. #photography #flowerphotography #tulip #nationaltrust #beltonhouse
This Rose Geranium was in the greenhouse at the Belton House National Trust Garden yesterday. A man standing beside me kindly acted as a sun shade. #photography #flowerphotography #nationaltrust #beltonhouse #geranium
Picture shows the National Trust logo, which is the silhouette of four oak leaves and four acorns on a twig. The colour is green against a white background.
Public information announcement: National Trust members of at least three years' standing can get a 25% membership discount once they reach age 60 BUT this isn't applied automatically and you have to ring up and ask #NationalTrust #OAPs #OAP They should publicise it more to improve retention
A tarmac road leading off into the distance. There is neatly cropped grass on either side of it. On the right hand side, a metal fence separates this grass verge from pasture. There are two bare trees in this pasture, their branches silhouetted against the sky. On the left, there is woodland running alongside the grass verge. It curves gently around to the right in the distance and ultimately runs across the horizon, following the line of the road which is out of sight at that point. The sky above is blue with some large clouds, both white and grey.
Morning, folks, and happy Monday! I hope you all have a good week, wherever it takes you...
😎👍

If you’re longing for a beautiful spring day at a historic walled garden in bloom, we recommend Sissinghurst Castle Garden in Kent. Managed by National Trust, this charming English garden is stunning, Did you catch our video? #SissinghurstNT #NationalTrust buff.ly/bGdT3mi
Picture shows mediaeval Powis Castle, which is made of red sandstone. It stands above a terraced garden with a flat lawn at the bottom. It is located very close to the town of Welshpool.
Been to Powis Castle #NationalTrust #PowisCastle No peacocks there any more, alas (bird flu), but I think I saw crows chasing an owl. It was a sunny mid afternoon but it didn't look like a buzzard
View up into the moss covered branches of a magnolia tree. The green moss is illuminated in places by the sun. The tree is full of blossom. Towards the top left of the picture, the sun is shining through the flowers. There are shrubs in the background, mostly hidden by the magnolia tree's lower branches and a glimpse of bright green, neatly mowed grass at the bottom of the frame.
Under the magnolia tree.

A low, ruined castle wall with neatly cropped grass in the foreground. There is a stone archway in the centre of the picture. Behind this is a lake and then more land, with a line of trees along its shore. There is a small boat on the lake, which is visible through the opening in the arch. The sky above is grey and distant hills, also grey and hazy, can be seen across the horizon beyond the trees.

A man (the run director) standing in a wooded area wears a blue high-visibility vest and a headband with soft grey bunny ears lined with pink. He has a short grey beard and is looking slightly to the side with a calm, thoughtful expression. Behind him are dense trees, ivy-covered trunks, and early spring greenery. The top of another person’s head appears at the bottom edge of the frame.
A smiling runner, the author, takes a selfie in a wooded park while holding up a small parkrun barcode card. He is wearing glasses, a black cap reading “GB Ultras,” wireless earbuds, and a purple running top with “Storm Plymouth” printed across the chest. The card reads “I belong to parkrun” with the number 0142 above a barcode. Behind him, another man in a light blue jacket looks down at something in his hands, and trees with early spring leaves fill the background.
A mobile coffee van branded “Cafe Roma” is parked beside a wooded area on a damp, overcast day. The cream-coloured van is decorated with coffee bean graphics and also displays “The Devon Coffee Company” and the slogan “Our beans are roasted in the westcountry.” A runner wearing shorts, blue knee-high socks, and trainers stands at the serving window ordering. Several parked cars sit behind the van, and a wooden bench and muddy path are visible in the foreground, suggesting a popular stop for runners or walkers after an outdoor event.
A calm river flows gently through a wooded landscape under an overcast sky. The water is shallow and clear in places, with stones visible beneath the surface and small ripples forming around them. Trees line both banks, many still bare with early spring growth beginning, while moss and ivy cover branches and trunks. In the foreground, leafy greenery grows along the edge of a stone bridge from which the photo is taken, framing the peaceful rural scene.
PlymValley parkrun this morning. Two laps along the Plym Valley trail in Plymouth, on a grey, overcast day.
A memorable run — my friend Richard celebrated his 200th parkrun, and I completed my 90th.

This cluster of tulips was at the National Trust garden at Blickling Hall in Norfolk UK. Another of my favourite flower photography places. #tulips #photography #nationaltrust #blicklinghall

A view from inside a car looking out over a bridge on a drizzly, grey morning. The background is tall trees on a hilly landscape.
Sitting in my car questioning my choices this grey, damp and drizzly morning as I prepare to take part in PlymValley parkrun.

The National Trust faces scrutiny as a protest group demands clarity on its Cumbrian plans. What do you think they should clarify? #NationalTrust
