Rain in the Garden
I always love to walk around the garden after a rain shower. Everything looks greener and brighter. On July 9, 2008 I snapped a bunch of photos of various leaves & flowers after the rain so I could enjoy them in the winter. Soon enough spring showers will be here again and this is what the gardens at Chiot’s Run will look like again.

These photos brought tears to my eyes – simply beautiful. My favourite time is dusk.

What beautiful photos! It was a great idea to take those photos and look at them now…good cure for the winter blues. I only hope that we get rain here soon, as there is none in sight and our winters turn to hot summers very quickly.

Beautiful! great photos! Stumbled upon your blog while looking up plant information. As a fellow gardener and new photography enthusiast, I would like to know what kind of camera and lens you are using for your macro shots of flowers! I have a canon eos xs (i just got it). Curious for some guidance! I too would like to document my many flowers and their progress…

Thanks Jody. Actually for these shots I used my Sony Cybershot point and shoot camera that I got a couple years ago. We did a job for some photographers and traded for a new to us Cannon and lens, here it is: /2008/12/31/trading-up/
