If you follow this path, you can enjoy some river scenes like this, and then the path takes you to the Calendar gardens.

I have posted some info of this lovely place before, but would like to again, and make this a tribute.

This property was donated to the Elkhart county parks, by Beth Defries after her husbands passing some years ago. The Calendar gardens is a work in progress for the past 5 years that I know of. The funding to maintain this wonderful place comes from a trust that Beth Defries set up, and is maintained by two people, the gentleman that designed it, Jon Cutrell, and also Pam Petersen.

I just found out this week from Pam, that Beth Defries passed away this past Dec. at the age of 90.

This is my dedication to a lovely lady, who I had the pleasure of meeting on several occasions.

Please view full screen, and thank you in advance for commenting.

Very nice composition and colours - The yellow/brown trees around the still water give this image a sense of calmness. God job Sandi and a good tribute.

A superb image in all respects. Belongs in the Main Galleries!
Perfect desktop.

A lovely tribute to the gardens' founder.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Beautiful image Sandi - looks like it could be a painting because the colors are so rich with depth.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Beth. At least she got to see her gardens become a reality Tigz. She was lucky to have met you and you her.
Lovely shot and did you watch for mushrooms?

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

I would love to follow that path, but I could never capture that picture as well as you did, Sandi.
