Good Morning!
On a day where its going to be 89F here in Vermont. Thats HOT, so I am posting a photo of this woodland garden with its coolness. The garden is actually based around a huge rock thats top is almost level with the 2nd story of our house, it sits behind a porch off our kitchen so on hot afternoons I sit in the coolness of the shade at look at this garden, its very peaceful.

Thanks for viewing my photo and for visiting my gallery, I'm still not a regular visitor these days, today I hope to mow the lawn before the heat sets in and I've got a bunch of flowers to plant in my new "wedding garden" planted for my daugher and her fiance'!

How exciting it must be for you Donna - finding out just what you have growing in your new garden. This scene looks very pleasant, and cooling too. The blue / purple and white flowers help with that.

I have to admire your taste, Donna!
This mountain home is every bit as fine as your lakeside home was!
Superb colours, wonderful details, fine composition

Nice shady garden with a Japanese look. Lovely colors of the flowers in the foreground and perfect background. I like the frail flowers amond the rugged rocks.
Nicely done

You choose a wonderful posting for your visit Donna. It is very hot and humid here as well and it makes me appreciate the coolness you have captured here, even more. I really like the composition and the DOF you have used. Beautiful colour and wonderful light. Well done
Warm Regards

Hi Donna, good to see you posting photos again, I can only dream of a lovely cool 89 deg F, it has been around 112 deg F here in Bahrain today, I guess it's all relative! Nice photo, good POV and it made me feel cool compared to the never ending dry sand and desert here.
Keep them coming, best regards, Les

Hi dear friend,
I love the simple beauty of this shot!
Great angle of shot and framing style.
Have a lovely day.

hi Donna

New England states should be hot in summer but when fall comes, you should have a host of photography opportunity.

I admire your garden concept and style of living. Is this under a green house shield? The plants look very healthy and really provide a good subject for your nice composition here. Just enough light control to saturate the colors and bring out the contrast.

tfs, bill
