The trout farm up the hill ....

Looking down at the trout farm, you can see the main ponds, but you can't grasp the full impact of what a pretty place it is.

When one gets closer, they can see how pretty the individual plants are - Jeanne is particularly fond of papyrus, like this beauty



The hydrangea are quite nice, too

Due to the declining wild fish population, they are currently doubling the size of the trout farm and I'm confident that when the new sections are complete, they will be just as lovely as the original farm:
