In the Garden

In The Garden - while many of these images do come from my own garden there are certainly plenty that I have taken in other gardens. Flowers, leaves and bugs are a favorite of mine to photograph and create a memory of how I felt while I was immersed in the smell, the sight and the sense of wonder I was feeling at that moment.

Yellow Lady Slipper
In Woodstock, Vermont there is a bog called Eshqua Bog, known for their yellow and pink ladyslippers. This lady posed quite nicely for me.
Sunflower - square
Sunflowers are my daughters favorite flowers so I always go searching for them. I found this one reachign for the sun in New Hampshire at Musterfiled Farm.
Tulip
Tulips let you know that warmer days are ahead - that spring will end and summer will begin.. This tulip still has some of the morning dew on it as the sun baths it in warm light.
Poppies
They only last a few days but poppies are such happy flowers. They bend and twist and twist this way and that but always seem to be in the best spirits.
