My friend tells the story of how years ago the "Dean of Maine Gardeners" was a member of the church she and her husband attended. One day, he kindly asked if they wouldn't like to come see his garden. Sadly, they declined not realizing what they were missing. Little did they know that a few years later they would be working hard to establish the garden as a community gem.
Enjoy the photographs and thank you for looking. I'm off on an adventure today and will share it with you soon. Have a fantastic Thursday! ETA: Alas, no adventure today after all. The weather is simply not cooperating. Still hope that you have a fantastic Thursday!
What beautiful fall shots. It looks like your honey is so peaceful resting on the bench. What gorgeous surroundings!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Have a wonderful adventure today.
ReplyDeleteOh Vee, such gorgeous photos!!!! What a beautiful place ~ can't wait to hear about your adventure today! xxoo, Dawn
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful garden. I hope you offered the guy on the bench a cup of coffee. :) Enjoy your adventure today!
ReplyDeleteYou are becoming a poet, with your camera, my Dear. Said truly. And with plenty of *jealousy*. :-))))
ReplyDeleteNO, not with *jealousy*!!!!! But truly, truly, truly said. One can watch you evolve!
Look at that second photo... a vista of green, stretching out in the distance. And that moss on an old fallen tree. Lovely. Photos which stop you, and draw you in...
Hearty congratulations! From a fellow trying-to-be photographer.
Methinks _I_ need to get out more. Go back to honing my own skills. :-) Do a little more 'work' on entries in my different photo blogs, again. :-)
Thank you for the push!
Gentle hugs,
Miss Mari-Nanci

Everything looks so green and bright there. Here, all is turning brown. Not because it's fall weather, but more because everything is FRIED from the heat. lol
ReplyDeleteMid to high 80's today...can't wait for it to cool off. I bought some jackets that are just down right cute and I'm ready to wear them. LOL
