A couple of weeks ago I needed a garden with spring flowers as I had an idea going around in my head for a spring photo. I also needed a small child for the photo. Luckily two people came to my rescue; the first was my friend Mandie and her lovely daughter, the second was Markree Castle who said I could use their gardens.
Before we explored the gardens we went into the castle. It really is a stunning place and the stained glass window is beautiful. I have fond memories of exploring the castle when I volunteered for the Hidden Histories book.
We loved looking around the garden and all the flowers. Mandie’s daughter thought she was a princess and she is 🙂
She was the perfect little model, people photos aren’t usually my thing but I did enjoy taking these.
We walked down to the river and saw snowdrops, we were looking for fish but didn’t see any.
Big thanks to Markree for the use of the beautiful gardens and Mandie and her beautiful daughter for their help.

Gorgeous springtime photos of Markree, including of the beautiful princess.
These pictures spark memories that light the corners of my mind 🙂
Your images are lovely and I especially love your closeups – they’re quite stunning 🙂
