About 3 miles from where I live is a smallish castle called Schloss Wolfsgarten. Normally you can't visit there, as it's private porperty, but on two weekends in May the gates are open and you can go in and visit the lovely park and look at the castle (though only from the outside). The family that owns the castle is related to the British queen and I've heard that she actually stayed in Wolfsgarten a couple of times while she was visiting Germany (though probably before I moved here).
The gartens are famous for the rhododendron that's growing there, though this year most of the blooming season is already over, and only a few bushes still had fresh blossoms.
Now, for some pictures:
The small lake in the park with the bridge (reminded me of pictures by VanGogh)
Somebody living in the lake
Nymphaea
Rhododendron
And, (for the title of this post for today) some roses
As you can see, I've given my new camera a bit of a workout and I'm really, really happy how the pictures turned out.
Update on the stitching front:
Medieval Tiles - I skipped one of the smaller squares as I've decided to use the recommended GAST Midnight thread after all. I've ordered it, now I have to wait for it to arrive.
As I've got the next week off - *yeah*- I've got back to King Tut. I hope to make quite some progress on him over the next couple of days (though, I've got loads of other stuff planed ...)

Beautiful pictures, that must be an awesome place to be able to walk around, I can't even imagine living there. Both of your stitching projects are looking wonderful, I always enjoy seeing updates on King Tut.
