I would love to solarize this one
I am back in one piece, sans a migraine so it could not have been too bad. It rained of course, but fortified with a latte and the most delicious lemon drizzle cake ever, I survived.
I once stood behind someone in M&S food hall who had in his basket freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon mousse, some fizzy lemon drink and some lemon cake. I should have dropped down on one knee and asked him to marry me. I LOVE the taste of lemon, in both savoury and sweet food. It top trumps chocolate any day and if I could, I would eschew my all be it delicious marmalade for lemon curd, but if you have ever seen the calories...
I managed to keep the brats under control. The gallery was huge, much bigger than I expected full of really beautiful botanical illustration. How wonderful to spend a life time collecting paintings and then build a gallery to house them all in.
The tree top walk was a little disappointing I thought it would be higher. However a colleague said it was quite high enough for her so maybe I am being churlish.
As you can probably see I forgot my effing Pentax. So bang went my macro photography session. instead I scrabbled around the bottom of my bag and dug out the Lumix, switched it to B/W mode and had some fun.

Lemon in savory is one of my favorite flavors. But, I detest it in sweet. I hate to use such a strong word to describe a lemon. However it is up there with okra and lima beans in the things I do not like.
These photos are gorgeous! So glad you survived.
Come visit me and I'll make you a lemon meringue pie!
just back to say that you taught me something -- I googled to find out who "the incomparable Ms. Cunningham" is/was and now I know. And your photos are, indeed, a tribute to Imogen and her botanical work.
How can lemon and okra be uttered in the same breath!! hang on maybe that would taste good too!
I'm a lemon girl too
