The path to St Mary's Church

This is the church path leading to St. Mary's church , Arnold.

The lavenders and roses making a stunning display.

Very photogenic don't you think and a great photo opportunity for those getting married in the next few weeks.

This scene has appeared several times on my 365 over the years and never fails to disappoint .

That is so very beautiful and what a floral guard of honour for a bride and her groom!

[Mags]

That would be a lovely stroll on Sunday morning. Beautiful shot.

[Helen Jane]

what a delightful approach to the church door. Lavender creates such a strong border and of course the scent together with roses would wonderful too. (Not that I would appreciate that right now - having lost all sense of smell due to covid).

[Carole Sandford]

What a beautiful composition! That’s a wonderful border on either side of the path.

[Richard Brown]

Very colourful think I remember it from previous years as u say it doesn't disappoint!

@casablanca Casa' my daughter Kirsty got married there in august 2013 (as indeed did we in '84) , the lavender and roses were still blooming then , albeit not as vibrant as in early July

@marlboromaam Mags, me and Ruby walk by most days

@helenhall Helen, it does smell nice, sorry you lost your smell to covid !
