Fota House and its grounds were so beautiful, so different than where I live, that I took loads of photos. I thought you might like to come along on a tour of its arboretum and grounds.
Massive, ancient trees greeted us from the moment we set foot on the grounds.
Majestic beeches, oaks, and exotic trees like this Eucalyptus cordata (below) from Tasmania filled the landscape.
Autumn's colorful show had begun.
Over and over again, I was fascinated by the ancient, magical-looking trees that seemed to be enchanted personalities from a fairy tale.
I half expected to see elves and fairies dancing beneath them.
The Victorian gardens mixed the rugged beauty of ancient stone walls with formal, courtly plantings.
