Visitors enter the Blanke Boxwood Garden through a handsome walled brick courtyard, catching glimpses of the center of the garden through circular window openings. The entry walk, flanked by perennial borders and boxwoods, leads visitors to a formal, oval boxwood parterre accented with colorful flowers and ground cover. The low hedges of boxwood are shaped to form the initials of Henry Shaw, the Garden’s founder.

Any and all comments and critiques welcome!!

Just beautiful Randy and it looks like a maze for really short people. Coloring and lines are great.

Randy, would have expected that this was an item for the current contest instead for the category 'gardens' as it shows some great curves, but that's up to you. Anyhow a very fine image.

Excellent job of showing the world the Boxwood Garden Randy. I really like the angle that you chose to shoot your image from. It really accentuates the beauty of the curves and uniqueness that one can find here.
Thank you for sharing this with me :=)

Mucho missed these past few months ... This is but one in your gallery that caught my eye. Nicely composed shot of some extraordinary topiary. Seems to me this might have been a good entry for the "Curves" contest. Whatever Randy, it's a great posting. Appreciate your sharing.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
