Where Flowers Never Fade

It's time for the garden to sleep. Flowers have faded away, and the colors are dulled. 
But I know where the flowers never fade.
 I can go there any time and find them waiting for me.
 All the beauty of the seasons past are still there.
 Colors bright and colors fair smile up at me.
 Here is where my garden still shines.
 All it takes is a moment, and I can be in the garden once more.
 That's why you should photograph your garden.
 Because then your flowers are frozen in time for those dark and dreary days of winter.
 Just when you think you can't take another gray day, you open up your photo files, and the colors save your spirit just in time.
 So come with me to the where the flowers never fade. It's even better than the memories.

Evening's Golden Glow

There are those who swear by the light of of dawn for photographing their garden. I'm not a morning person, so I wouldn't know. Me, I much prefer the golden glow of the setting sun. It's my favorite time to go visit the garden and take pictures. After dinner is time to go sit on my garden bench and watch all the critters visiting my butterfly bush. It's a busy place.

Monarch
Hummingbird Moth
Painted Lady
Silver Spotted Skipper    

But my favorite part is the way that the evening sun shines it's golden glow over everything.
