Now what's this?

This is a picture full of symmetry taken on a jolly to the local park. It rained all night but today was bright, sunny and reasonably warm. These gentlemen are enjoying the day playing bowls.


Now what's this?

This is a picture of swans looking like swan vases ...


and beautiful reflections on the lake. I wasn't very near but if you click on the picture you should be able to see more detail.


Now what's this?

This is another picture full of symmetry (I like symmetry.). Can you see those white squares? The famous lions in the park are here no longer. Click here and cursor down to Lions to read the full story. 'Bang' goes my long term target!


Now what's this?

This is not a symmetrical picture but a puzzle picture! Spot the bird!


Now what's this?

This is an ever so slightly symmetrical picture in which finding the birds will be very easy.


Now what's this?

This is a cue to recite (by heart please) the first verse of Wordsworth's poem. Score 1 for remembering 1 verse, 2 for 2 and so on up to 4 if you can recite all 4 verses. Leave your score in the comments!!!!


Now what's this?

If you look closely in the centre of the rose garden you can see some wire fencing surrounding a statue covered with black sheeting. 


The unveiling of the statue will be on Sunday.

Welcome to my new follower and commenters. I hope you enjoy visiting here.

  1. I am a 2, when I was at primary school we all had to memorise a piece of poetry to recite, I think that almost half the girls went for I wandered lonely as a cloud but as an avid reader with a stack of classics I memorised the Jabberwocky, Mum was horrified but I won a prize, 3 books in the Little Women series, I still have them.

  2. I love the heart in the bottom left corner of the picture with the hidden birds in it (that I can't find!)

    PS Passed on birdies, but failed on poetry.

  4. What a shame about the lions, but at least you could go and see them in Stowe free of charge, perhaps climb on to one of their backs there. I'm not sure if I've found the bird or not, is it near the top and a bit to the left?

  5. Found the bird and the heart at the bottom. Didn't do so well on poetry but loved your photos! x

  6. Ha! I was there yesterday. I'd never been before and loved it. Walked through the park (via the cafe) up through the woodland to Marton Mere. We were not made to feel welcome when we ended up on the golf course path though. Obviously lowering the tone!
