Although summer is over now, we are still enjoying some warm, sunny days - in fact, September has been warmer than August! So here are a few shots taken around our garden.
The newly erected stone statues at Mt. Coot-tha Gardens fit in very well with the surroundings. They are located on the perimeter of a lawned area, with their backs to a large pond.
Apologies if the statues appear as if they are miniatures. They are about the size of an average human, so, being some distance away, a zoom lens can cause some distortion.

The Dartington Hall estate is home to 25 acres of Grade 2* listed gardens, open year round from dawn till dusk. With a rich sense of history and a host of delightful features – from a new bridge by artist Peter Randall Page to a sculpture by Henry Moore to 500 year old Spanish Chestnut trees – the gardens at Dartington are worth exploring all year round.

The Valley Gardens, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, is a 17-acre English Heritage Grade II listed garden in regal Low Harrogate, next to the Pinewoods woodlands.
It includes beautiful historic buildings, such as the Sun Pavilion and colonnades, which sit alongside a wide variety of shrub, flower and herbaceous beds.
This garden area was built with the cooperation of a Chinese sister city in Naha City. Admission is free so the price is right:)
The Sunken Gardens at Butchart
Wiki:
"The Butchart Gardens is a group of floral display gardens in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, Canada, located near Victoria on Vancouver Island. The gardens receive close to a million visitors each year. The gardens have been designated a National Historic Site of Canada due to their international renown...
...In 1982 the Butchart Gardens was used as the inspiration for the gardens at the Canadian pavilion opened at Epcot Centre in Orlando Florida."

The entrance to the Sunken Garden at the Butchart Gardens. There's an awesome Alice in Wonderland quality to it. Definitely my favorite of the different gardens there.

This is the rose garden at Polesden Lacey, a National Trust property in Surrey, England. On the whole, the garden isn't much to my taste, being the stiff and formal 1930s type of rose garden, but I do like this path with the roses growing over it.
Another shot taken with my N8 - must get the Sony Alpha out and dust it off - but it is so big ... compared to my N8 ...
This important garden occupies an area of over 80 acres surrounding Bodnant House, most of which was first laid out by Henry Davis Pochin, a successful industrial chemist, from 1874 onwards until his death in 1895. Bodnant House had been built in 1792 but was remodelled by Pochin and on his death it was inherited by his daughter (whose husband became the first Baron Aberconway in 1911). The garden, but not the House or other parts of the estate, was presented to the National Trust, with an endowment, in 1949. The House was the home of the late Lord Aberconway, and members of his family continue to be actively involved in the management of the garden, its tea pavilion and car parks on behalf of the National Trust.
