Stamford Park Flower Beds


(Click photo for larger version. Press Back button to return here.)

For this week's My World feature we pay another visit to the splendid flower beds in Stamford Park, on the border of Ashton and Stalybridge.

The colours have completely changed since I posted the photo of primroses in these beds in May. This photo was taken on Sunday during a history walk around the park as part of the Heritage weekend. I was amazed at how much colour these still is in the park half-way through September!

"Stamford Park Flower Beds" is my contribution to this week's "My World" feature. Please check out the other blogs participating in this week's My World.

  6. Sorry not to meet your demanding standards on this occasion, Pete! The apparent tilt to the image is due to the flower beds being situated on a slope. The little ornamental tree is leaning, as well!

    Not to be argumentative but benches are not normally levelled,just placed.
    Give Martin the benefit of the doubt
