    Forgive me if Exbury Gardens have been mentioned before, but I cannot find them listed here - and I'm sure lots of you would want to visit them!

    Springtime is best for the famous display of Rhododendrons and Azaleas,

    But autumn is a must as well, as the colours are quite unforgettable!

    (That second set was taken on Monday, 1st November. I took 209 pics, so you're getting off lightly!:lollol:)

    Exbury Gardens close on Sunday and won't open again until next March, so if you get on your running shoes...:wink:)

    Glad you liked the pics, Folks! When we moved south, one reason we chose to find a home in SW Hampshire was the proximity to Exbury!:)

    After last night's gales however, much of the colour will have blown away!:(
