Recently I had
a wonderful day with photo friends on a “shoot” at a commercial garden center
in the wine country. Each area of the center was a garden commissioned for a
specific purpose. Beautiful designs, some were gimmicky, others seemed to fit
beautifully into the terrain. On the edge of the gardens was a large pond with a little island of water lilies blooming in the very warm afternoon. Obviously
planned, but yet they seemed to break free from the human connection. I was so
glad for the focus of this picture….enough out of focus to enhance their
incredible beauty. Slightly out of focus
is my creative mantra going into summer.
A good mantra, Duff. The lillies look dreamy and ephemeral. The garden sounds wonderful. I'll take my blooms just now anywhere I find them. We head back to Breck today in more snow. It's been a long winter that won't leave.
ReplyDeleteI hope that spring comes to the high country soon. But, truthfully, we have all been a little envious watching the storm track from the Pacific go north and south of us and then end up dumping feet of wet, spring snow on you folks in the Rockies. Could sure use some of that moisture here in CA!!
DeleteI would love to send you some excess moisture, Duff!
