I just wanted to update you.  this spring i delightfully began to photograph a master gardener's garden.  i have spent time at each unfolding of spring, summer and now the beginnings of autumn.  I feel like i have become quite familiar and fond of their stunning space. who wouldn't right?  I lose time here.  love that.  hundreds of images later, i am not sure quite what to do with all of them - perhaps picking a favorite or two or three??   Here is the FULL portfolio if you care to peek.  warning:  epic beauty!!
