Barford Park & House, Enmore . I loved the very simple and random fences along the road through Barford Park, the different coloured posts and their crazy angles appeal to the quirky side of my nature. The beautiful trees, including the magnificent Cedar of Lebanon seen here towering above the others, take centre stage here and encircle the red walls of Barford House protectively as if hiding her blushes. It seems to me that the reds have faded and mellowed over time to become the warm blush pink seen here.
Named for it's landowners, the original two storey building was built in 1710 with an extra story and wings added in later times. A Grade II Listed building sitting in around 40 acres of parkland it retains it's beauty and old world charm, despite the roadway running through the grounds and used by buses and locals alike.
The array of greens and golds were a joy to see and for me added to the charm of the location.
Quite a loose connection here as I have used a song from the 'Wild Rose' cd and film as a nod to the blush coloured walls and the track I have used because of the road passing through the park is
'When I reach the Place I'm Going' sung by Jessie Buckley

I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition, most especially that big light coloured tree.
Fantastic colours too, even the house!
Best Wishes, HFF and stay safe!!
