This is from my latest visit to Stotts Garden. The blooms were in-between stage, but I still managed some shots, and I just enjoy walking around this lovely 2 1/2 acres.

Here we are at the edge of the property, and looking out, and beyond.

Still trying out the 40mm (pancake) lens, and kept the editing basic.

Thank you for your comments.

Next time we see each other I must remember to ask you to show me this technical photography wonder - pancake lens [let us face the truth it will last weeks before either of us remembers that!]:)
I can smell the air saturated with heat and smell of the flowers...
Maybe I will get myself such pancakes too...:)

Think you have to show this image to the present owner, and perhaps it will not be your last visit to this garden Sandi.

It would be really a pity if we wouldn't see any future images from there.

Thanks for this very fine post.

Regards, Cornelius.

The garden must be full of blooms by now. Nice shot Sandi. Your pancake lens has shown everything here very clearly.

You make me feel so uninformed! I will have to google "pancake" lens and see what it is all about! But apparently, it is a tool for good photographers like you.

Love all the beautiful colors of lupines Sandi and I agree with Mr. C. about not seeing beautiful images from here.

There is nice sharpness all the way through your image Sandi. Lots of good color. Good composition and I'm a fan of nice clouds.

A lovely looking garden scene and capture, Sandi. Good clarity and colours in the photo. I'll have a stack of those pancakes if you don't mind.
