Recent garden shots

The back garden is starting to stir from its winter slumber. Now I'm finally get to see my very own redbud flowers up close! The boy and I were spending a warm spring evening in the back garden when Drew got play photographer for the first time. He throughly enjoyed imitating mommy. The hunter becomes the hunted . . . .

Below you'll see shots of my redbud starting to bloom, my Possumhaw holly budding out between two magnolias, Andrew & Lincoln playing king of the rock, and my three new flying pigs.

Photography in the garden

Garden photography combine both of my passions. Getting it right is a challenge for both the photographer and the garden designer. When both are on, it's brilliant. Even without perfection, the results are usually pretty decent. So keeping an eye on the finalists for International Garden Photographer of the Year will prove pretty interesting. The National Trust in England and Wales even offers workshops and advice to those whom enter. Pretty decent of them.
