The last of the 3 gardens we visited was Bressingham Gardens in the southern edge of Norfolk. Again, a lovely garden to visit but with the added attraction of a Steam Museum

Truth is not a blade
but a bloom that will not close

Red eyes blaze like suns,
piercing through their shadowed lies,
truth will not be caged.

A metallic green bottle fly clings to a leaf, its iridescent body glowing with emerald and gold while vivid red eyes and delicate veined wings shimmer in sharp detail against a dark blurred background.

The great west window of Winchester cathedral. The original window was destroyed in 1642, the citizens of Winchester gathered the pieces and constructed a multicolor mosaic in its place.
