Took this image at Inniswood Gardens last summer. One of those images I shrugged off when first looking at it then found something I liked about it a year later. I did some slight cropping and adjusted the contrast. It’s good to revisit the archives.
I also want to share this quote of Galen Rowell’s I found on a post by David Hyde. “The most meaningful photographic styles are always reflections of the internal. We react not so much to what an outdoor photographer sees, but to how he or she sees and renders the subject for us. Personal style comes from within, from a photographer’s unconscious and conscious choices.” Galen Rowell’s Vision: The Art of Adventure Photography
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Monte, this was definitely one that was worth pulling from the archives. I love the multiple blurred flower bulbs in the background and that soft green.

Thanks, Earl. The more I look at it the more I like it. Are you guys unpacked and remembering all the neat times while vacationing?

Hi Monte, Thank you for the link. Hey since you mentioned an interest in John Muir here’s a related quote:
“The sun shines not on us, but in us. The rivers flow not past but through us. Nature was made not just for us, but for itself and its own happiness, and is the very smile of the Divine.” John Muir

I almost picked up one of Muirs books the other day but I still a couple other books to finish before launching into another one. Thanks for this quote as it does resonate with my spirit.

For my taste, there is no beating the combination of pink and that rich green. Your control over depth of field produces a wonderful picture. Thanks for sharing the quotation. Very nice.
Monte Stevens
Colors are my weakness, Anita. Thanks, for stopping by, I enjoy when you do.
