Background for you people that don't know anything: Chatsworth House was where they filmed the new version of Pride and Prejudice. We went to see it on a weekend Saturday trip.

Only sad thing about Chatsworth was that some stupid girl had kissed the bust of Mr. Darcy that is in the movie, and gotten lipstick on it. It had to be taken away for washing. 

Crazy girl. We were mad. 

Right now the Duke and Duchess live at the house. Imagine having a few hundred people come and walk around your house and backyard every day? We were allowed to walk through a third of the house, but it was about a half mile walk. And the grounds and gardens went on and on forever. There was even a maze. And plenty of statues and fountains and old famous artwork. They even had this springtime flower exhibit with the most funky imaginative flower arrangements scattered all around the house. 

The funny thing is that mixed in with all the old cool stuff is modern art. The current duke and duchess like it...for some reason that none of us could figure out. It wasn't even worthy of photography. Except for this one piece. It was a picture...not a painting or a photograph...more like an outline of a woman's face. And it changed color. It was really creepy. We stood and stared at it with really confused faces and were pretty much grossed out.

I have about five million more pictures I could put up here but it would take forever. So...Chatsworth House for ya'll!

It's beautiful, Kaisha!! I love the big picture at the bottom of the post ... how the windows are reflecting the blue sky. Pretty! And I love, of course, your jumping picture. And the circle of feet. Which is different than a circle of love ... lol. I made myself laugh. Ha. Miss you.

It's okay that the bust was missing...he wasn't the REAL Mr. Darcy anyway.. :)

YAY!!! How fun! When I was at Capernwray, we got to go to Lyme Hall, which was Pemberley in the old Pride & Prejudice ... which I still haven't seen yet, so it wasn't AS exciting ... but it was still exciting! Ohhh I just love England. :]

ALRIGHT Miss Photographer! AH, you have to publish a coffee table book when you get home, I would TOTALLY buy it! Your photos are exquisite! So glad you are having such a grand time!

ah thanks Kat! I did edit them some...but I try. I really need to figure out how to do stuff on my own instead of just shooting in automatic. LAME! Oh well...I don't usually have time to go switching stuff. Just doing enough to grab moments so they aren't lost. :)
