botanical











i was convinced there wouldn't be much color left - the drought has taken its toll on the flowers and grass this summer.  but as always, the gardens are a haven of beauty.  as beautiful today as they were years ago and will still be in years to come.  i tried to imagine how they looked years ago through the eyes of film... in our digital age.

i found myself with an hour to spare friday on my way home after a speaking engagement.  me and my trusty 50mm....and the gardens.  i was hot and sticky...but an oasis of beauty.  i wish i had taken a photograph of the couple that stopped and asked me to take their picture - they were young and in love..... and taking pictures in the gardens while all dressed up.  i wondered if they had just eloped and were sending home photos to their families.....
