Daffodils at Nowton Park

While visiting POD’s grandparents, auntie and cousins over Easter weekend, we headed to Nowton Park. Set in 200 acres of landscaped Suffolk countryside there’s an arboretum, maze, bird feeding area, ponds and wild meadow.

There’s also Lime Avenue which was originally planted to provide the estate with a sense of grandeur. The 100,000 daffodils that bloom beneath the trees were planted in 1989.

POD did well not to touch the daffodils

although it was necessary to ask one what its name was.

She looked so tall and grown-up standing in a gap among the blooms, even more so with her hair back.

But sticks still make for great magic wands

And the bigger ones are brilliant to walk with.

But then the tiredness kicked in. POD had been so excited she’d not slept until 11pm the night before and woke up before 6am.

There was only one thing for it, to sit side saddle on Daddy!

After our walk, there was just time for lunch before checking out the play park and heading back for a film.

    Oh this is fabulously gorgeous – and to be honest cannot decide if I prefer the colour or B&w shots as all too lovely.

    All such beautiful photos, I love the colour and the black and white, but I’m a colourful girl at heart and POD’s beautiful deep coat against the daffodils is just stunning. You have a perfect model there for all your photography!

    Lovely photos. I love the contrast between the yellow daffodils and Pod’s purple coat.
