These photos of wisteria were taken while I walked in the GX Fun Run. With a goal of not being dead last, I stopped often for photos.
John Milton came to Chalfont St Giles to escape the plague in London. What a view he had!
The cottage contains copies of Paradise Lost and Found. I bet he wrote one in the winter, the other in the spring.
This cottage is the stuff of wisteria legend. Stories have spread about its lush wisteria, which shows up very well against the whitewashed walls.

The horse chestnuts are everywhere, and have started to drop their petals. This sidewalk in my neighborhood was covered with petals.
The Clematis montana flowers in late spring. Why did the clematis climb over the roof? To get to the other side!
The lilacs were blowing in the wind, so I held on to a branch and got this picture. I'd never seen this purple shade before, and the photo doesn't do it justice.
The nearby wood looks completely different in the spring. After a week's absence, I didn't recognize the same path I walk every day.
