Garden Week Randoms

Willy Nilly Friday

1. The gardens at Glen Burnie are beautifully enhanced by creeks and ponds. A recirculating system pumps the water back up from the lower gardens. I showed a duck playing in the creek on Wednesday. Here's a little waterfall rendered in black and white.

Glen Burnie is in Winchester, Virginia.


2. We were at Glen Burnie because someone I know was giving a photography talk. Jackie Bailey Labovitz explained how she makes wonderful images of wild flowers. She puts a tremendous effort into these artful photographs.

I've been to her gallery in Sperryville and also we were in a Photoshop class together.

3. These cheerful tulips were blooming at Glen Burnie. (Orange you glad it's Friday?  Floral Friday.)

4. On Wednesday I made a brief stop at the Carrier Arboretum in Harrisonburg. It was a wonderland of blooms, with wild flowers, spring bulbs, azaleas, and flowering trees!

Sharing with Weekend Reflections and Skywatch Friday.

5. The final images show a path in Carrier Arboretum. For the second version, I added a sketch filter and a vignette.

    Wonderful photos...I always love a river, and I'm guessing the arboretum provided you plenty of photo opportunities! Thanks for sharing.
