That was fast! I actually remembered it from your earlier photo. Beautiful colors in this. How do you do it? Mine always feel washed out. (I'm guessing I need to invest in a "real" camera one of these days!)
Adele...thank you! It is possible that because it was cloudy the colors showed up better. It is an untouched photo taken with a 'no frills' Panasonic camera. I do use Picasa editing for cropping (a lot) and it includes a nice 'I feel lucky' color fix editing button which I have used from time to time. (Needless to say, I bow to the expertise of Petrea and her advice.)
Lulu, I did go back today and sit while having a (the 's' word) coffee. :)
Amazing what they can do with a few rolls of grass, Petrea. The lines are gone but no doubt someone will get creative when they mow the lawn soon.
Thank you ladies! Winter is definitely a better time, with the cloud cover. I have been using the shadow feature to get more saturation, but have just tried both of your suggestions. Amazing!! I have noticed that my photos fade somewhat when they enter my blog. Have you found that as well? Either way, thank you again - I'm hoping for better displays here soon.
What program do you have, Adele? I have iPhoto, which isn't very sophisticated but does have some useful tools. Try messing around. Make a copy, don't mess around with the original. Try everything! I like to mess with contrast especially, also shadows and saturation.

The Coventry City Centre is looking mighty fine! I also remember it from your previous post. I love the photo, I could sit there all day.
That is a LAWN!
Adele, try "saturation" or something like that in your photo software, see if it helps.
