 Some misty views of The Garden House

Every Monday I spend a few hours photographing The Garden House for their social media posts.  Last Monday was no exception.  The conditions were totally different to those we've experienced for most of the summer.  Misty, cloudy overcast with a small amount of rain.  Very soft light with the distance fading into white mist.  Any garden looks different in these conditions.  As you'll see from the photos.  Click to embiggen.

The whole garden has certainly greened up over the last few weeks, a benefit of edge of Dartmoor rain after the summer drought.  The misty conditions were just the icing on already desirable cake.
