Crarae

decided to go for a walk in Crarae Gardens this afternoon. It is always good at this time of year because the rhododendrons are just begining to open and the gardens are not so it is very quiet.

When the gardens are not officially open you can still walk around and leave your money in the honesty box.

I took some shots of the children in the gardens but the light was low and even although I turned up the ISO slightly the images were still not sharp so in the end I posted this close up of the rhododendron flower just opening. Not one of my better photo days!
