Gardens

My garden.

It's the place I go first at the beginning of the day (the roses love coffee grounds), and the first place I go after a day out on the road.

It's the place I go last most nights as I close down the house for the evening. I observe the night sky, relocate snails and slugs, wonder what the next day will bring.

It's the place I go for a dose of color and a piece of sanity. It's the place I go to sort out my thoughts.

It's the place I go for inspiration.


It's also the place I go to try out new ideas.
I never tire of photographing in my garden, or any garden, for that matter. Every time I've added a new tool to my camera bag I go out to the garden first to try it out.





Gardens are good backdrops for people pictures. The garden colors and textures compliment almost anything you put in it. Sometimes, I plan a photo based on a garden texture, sometimes it just happens that way.

I'm lucky to have beautiful gardens in the area I live in.
