As the winter bites I like to look back at reminders of a beautiful summer, and I haven't yet shown this set from a gorgeous spot in Dorset, southwest of Weymouth. It is isolated and tucked away, but a real gem to explore.

All shots with the K7 & Samyang 14mm f2.8 (my go-to gardens lens!) .... a walkabout shoot, so handheld, ISO 200 or 400, mostly at f4 - 8 ....

They clearly do something to keep them out! No swans seen in the gardens. The gardens are not so well known as the swannery, and they are tucked away in a small valley, but well worth a visit.
