As ever, seeking shade this morning in #Royden. Missing gazebo seats relocated elsewhere in walled garden. Ducklings photobombing view of the mere.

A sunlit dirt path winds through a dense, green forest filled with ferns and leafy trees. A tranquil forest scene features a small pond surrounded by lush greenery, with sunlight filtering through the trees. A serene pond reflects the surrounding lush trees and a partly cloudy blue sky. A wooden bench sits beside a raised garden bed filled with various plants and flowers under the shade of tall trees.
