If ever any malice in your heart
Were hid against me, now to forgive me frankly

We took the day off and went hiking at Fillmore Glen State Park. It was a lovely blue-sky fall day and the perfect weather for a long walkie. We met lots of dog pals, and of course, we got lots of treats, too! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #terriers #hiking #upstatenystateparks

Friday is #SCAPE Day

So i'm combining it with #WeekOforOpulent of the #AlphabetChallenge to show Heaton Hall in all four seasons of its exterior opulence

Sadly its interior is a very different story

A collage of 4 colour photographs showing Heaton Hall in Heaton Park, Manchester through all four seasons of the year taken from roughly the same viewing spot. Heidi border terrier is present in the foreground on each shot
