After meeting friends for  coffee and a catch-up, I went for a walk around the Diaspora gardens, loving the Eucalyptus trees and their mottled bark in the Australian section. I have posted before about the gardens. If you’d like to see more, click here.

I’m hoping that by showing you photos of the newly mown lawns you will be able to remember the wonderful smell of just cut grass. I was hoping to find out that there is a special word for this smell as there is for that remarkable scent of rain on sun dried ground, petrichor, but there isn’t. Apparently we like it because it reminds us of summer.

In the afternoon, the lovely Mr Smith thought I needed the big trees and long views that we find at Trelissick Gardens. He was right. Just click on any photo to get a bigger picture and more detail.

Golden squirrel

Brilliant project

The best view ever

More cut grass and long views to the pile on the horizon where there are deer playing in the garden

We love the colours, shades of green, and the turquoise water of the creek

Love the water pattern left by the canoeists and the reflection of the yellow jacket in the water
