This isn’t the best photograph in the world, and if I knew the boy in the green striped top it would have a lot more meaning. Alas, he is a stranger who wandered into my photograph one sunny afternoon during a trip to the gardens at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.
As this week’s Gallery theme is water, the alternative was to post a photograph of the Dead Sea. However, that would have been blog suicide as I have written about my day at the desert at least twice already.
And there is nothing worse than someone who posts about the same thing all the time. So here’s an image from Chatworth, which I now seem to remember I have posted about before, not once but twice. If I dare to dip into the archives a little further there may be a third post hidden in there.
So I am renaming this blog Repetitive Scribble. It seems appropriate and has a nice ring to it.
Do visit Tara’s blog for more entries to this week’s Gallery.
Great picture - that sky is pretty awesome in contrast to the greeness of the gardens and the fountain. Worth posting a few more times if the chance arises ;)

Nice shot, the colours are great and I can imagine taking my shoes off and having a go too ;) @Kahanka

It's a lovely shot I would want to wade in too like that boy has! And there's nothing wrong with recycling posts I recycle photos sometimes *ahem* :)

What a great shot. Chatsworth House has offically gone on my 'List-of-places-I-want-to-visit' x

Repetitive Scribble? I think you can get tablets for that.

That's a beautiful photo. Don't panic about repeating it! And as for the little boy, make something up! He's your second cousin Hector visiting from Tasmania. Change it every time someone asks!

Fab photo, really like this one. Would love to visit there one day, it looks lovely.

Repetitive or not it's a lovely shot! The sky is perfect - Chatsworth is on my list of places to go but seeing this, I must make an effort. I imagine the rest of the house and grounds are as good?

Chatsworth is so beautiful and so tempting to get in that water on a hot day!

We are in Nottingham so not far away from Chatsworth House but haven't been yet, no excuse really seeing as it's so close! Lovely pictures!

That's a gorgeous photo, I love the colours.

I love the green from the moss under the water. It must be very impressive to actually be there and see it.

The rest of the house and grounds are amazing and definitely worth a visit if you can. There's also a small farmyard and children's play area. It's not so great if the weather is bad but on a sunny day it's perfect.

Natalie, you really must go. You're just down the road from us so it's not that far really.

The doctor says there's no hope.
Posted by: Rosie Scribble | August 10, 2011 at 01:35 PM
Lovely photo! I am hoping that boy in the green didn't go flying landing on his bottom in the water like I did when I was little?! Ouch!

Fab picture, Rosie (and for the record, the Dead Sea would've been great too). I went to Chatsworth years ago, had forgotten about that fabulous fountain.

Love all the greens - really beautiful

I think it is a gorgeous shot! Makes me want to join that boy in the green striped top... :)

Love Chatsworth, fab on a sunny day, fab most days actually.

I am just a tiny stones throw away from chatsworth used to go there all the time with my gran! this is a great picture and reminds me to take time to visit with my own children
Posted by: sarahmumof3 | August 10, 2011 at 10:09 PM
Wow, thats a cool photo. I'd have just made up something 'relevant' about the boy....
Posted by: Jacq | August 10, 2011 at 10:16 PM
As soon as I saw the picture I knew we'd been there! I love the way you have made it look like paper. How did you do that?
Posted by: jfb57 | August 11, 2011 at 07:23 AM
Hi Julia, I took the photo on my iphone and used the app Intagram to add a filter to the image. That's why it looks like paper. I suppose that means I have cheated a little bit. Don't tell anyone!
Posted by: Rosie Scribble | August 11, 2011 at 10:35 AM
Ah I recognised where this was as soon as I saw it as I have some pictures very similar. Well Repetitive Scribble - who cares? Certainly not me, I love seeing your pics :)
