From the town of Ambeside in England's Lake District


From Wordsworth's Daffodile Garden in Grasmere in England's lake District

What could be more thrilling to paint on this spot only a few steps away from Wordsworth's tomb and right beside a slate stone  engraved with the last stanza from his famous poem about daffodils
 " For oft, when on my couch I lie
          In vacant or in pensive mood,
          They flash upon that inward eye
          Which is the bliss of solitude;
          And then my heart with pleasure fills,
          And dances with the daffodils"

From Windermere, Lake District in England!

My first ever plein air painting painted just a few steps away from Ivy Bank B & B where we stayed  during our three day trip to England's Lake District. A quintessential English street in Windermere early in the morning with cloudy sky
