We went up to Ladew Gardens for the first time Tuesday. We’ve been, over the years, to Longwood a few times and noted a number of differences. Can’t wait to get therde closer to Fall flowers time. Lots of places to simply park oneself and read, or enjoy the quiet. Pretty good koi pond. This is a quick closeup I tood of some wild roses – in my b&w of course. I have a thing for occasionally turning out a b&w flower shot. This is something of a study in white with slight blushes of gray (red) on the petals. It only begins taking on testure and body at a larger size.

Not sure yet what folio I’ll add this to – –
