That's true about it being in the eye of the artist and their intention - the magic is their ability to create even if they don't manage to convey that intention to their audience! <br />Catherine xxCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-82745575956056476282011-04-17T17:54:56.449+01:002011-04-17T17:54:56.449+01:00Just catching up with your lovely post.

It felt like I was actually there.<br /><br />I guess the magic of art is not the piece and whether or not we like it but rather, as you say, someone had the imagination to think it and create their vision. I agree that the magic doesn't work for everyone.Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-85934412639727882632011-04-17T10:44:54.786+01:002011-04-17T10:44:54.786+01:00Thanks for comments - yes SUSAN you should try to ...Thanks for comments - yes SUSAN you should try to visit sometime - the gardens and gallery are open till October every day - a nice day out and if you make it on a Sunday then there's Farmers' Market in the Avenue to the Castle. <br /><br />RITA - we take it for granted as it's so familiar but it is a lovely place when we sit back and look at it. There's always something going on - not always time to get to it all! <br /><br />MARILYN - there are a lot more Castle and Gardens photos on different sidebar albums and the Devonshire Day ones are lovely too. You might even get to visit it one day!<br /><br />Catherine xxxCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-37357088055595461122011-04-16T17:34:20.562+01:002011-04-16T17:34:20.562+01:00Love seeing the castle and gardens in that last pi...Love seeing the castle and gardens in that last picture.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-14153045279679727622011-04-16T12:20:03.336+01:002011-04-16T12:20:03.336+01:00You are so fortunate to live in and area where you...You are so fortunate to live in and area where you have such interesting happennings.
