Not long after I moved into my Michigan house some twenty years ago, I made a
flagstone path and planted a perennial garden next to it. My philosophy of
perennial gardening is to crowd it with enough plants so that it never needs to
be weeded. For the most part it works. Both the path and the garden have
endured. Tonight I got up on a small stepladder and shot a backlit pic of the
garden. The red things are bee balm, and they attract the aforementioned bees
as well as butterflies and hummingbirds. The tall yellow things in the back are
rocket flowers, but they're curling a bit in the 95 degree F temperature. Did I
say it was hot? There is some echinacea behind the goose weathervane (Former
list member, Belinkoff, who was mentioned by Robb earlier today, was annoyed
that I had a weather vane on the ground. But I like it there.) There are some
lilies and begonias on the other side of the bed, but they're mostly hidden
here.
Beautiful path, Paul.
There's a fountain and bench off to the left, which are out of frame, as they
must be. since they're in perpetual shade.
HDR it, dude. :-)
Less tongue in cheek, how about a remote flash? I was able to brighten
up the side of an entire house with a single AF540 a few weeks ago for a
setting-sun, wide angle kind of shot.
