Today marks 5 years of the-gorilla and the-mrs-gorilla getting married - it feels like longer š
So we thought it would be nice to have a family day out and we went to Sheffield Park which is about an hour away from where we live.
Sheffield Park in Autumn is quite simply, beautiful. As Autumn descends and the leaves change colour, this place is a photographer's paradise. The 18th Century manor house, lake, ducks and impressive gardens attracts many a tripod but unfortunately, I'm about as far from a photographer as you'll find and the chances are that my photos will have at least one finger covering the lens. But here are a few photos that I took...
ā Photo bombing
ā Plenty of colour by the lake
ā More colour by the lake
ā A tall tree
ā The manor house (now converted into flats)
ā So many ducks
ā I tried to be arty
ā 10 ducks followed us (because I gave them an apple core)
And now to the best part of the day - the duck fight...
ā The duck nearest started it...
š Then got his ass whooped...
When we got home, we ordered Chinese and enjoyed some duck spring rolls š¦
