Higher Ansty - Dorset


Estate Agent job: Call on the Friday to photograph a cottage in Higher Ansty. Checked with the Met office and the best day was Sunday. Saturday it started off wet but cleared up by the afternoon. Sunday started off with blue skies and then started to get cloudy. I had arranged with the client I would photograph at 2ish. The clocks had gone back an hour on Saturday night. Lucky I turned up at 1:30 by 2:30 it went over cast and spits of rain.

Melbury Downs - Dorset



On a return trip from North Dorset I noticed this field of poppies. Late afternoon there was many people still out walking. Never knew poppies were out this time of year. In the distance towards Blandford there was another field of poppies.

Mapperton Gardens - Dorset




Mapperton Gardens:Mapperton´s terraced valley gardens surround the delightful Tudor/Jacobean manor house, stable blocks, dovecote and All Saints Church. On the upper levels, a walled croquet lawn, then the orangery, an ornate pavilion overlooking the Italianate formal garden with fountains, topiary, grottoes, ponds and herbaceous borders. Below, a 17th century summer house, hedged fishponds, topiary and borders.
