Rhododendron by fishers

Rhododendron

I took a short walk today onto Clifton Ings. The road that leads there was once a driveway to Clifton Hospital, a hospital for those with mental health issues. It closed some years ago, and there is a business park and housing on the hospital site now.

Many of the shrubs and bushes that were in the hospital grounds have survived, and here a rhododendron bud is bursting open and giving a splash of colour.

So beautiful! Proof that nature can take care of itself if it left to its own devices.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

It's hard to overestimate how much I enjoyed my walk yesterday afternoon, though there were rather more people around than I would have liked. It may have been less than an hour, but it was really blissful!
