Summer Blooms

Last weekend, I was doing some work to revive my patio. I purchased some new furniture, accents, and plants (of course!). Whenever I visit the garden center, I bring my macro lens because it is one of the only places that I know of with such a variety of plants that you can interact with so closely. Also, there is a sea of other flowers and colors, and I always get such a dreamy background in my photos.

“Flowers… are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities in the world.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson
