Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
On the one day with no rain, I made my first visit of the season to the gardens. I was hoping for more blooms, but it seems I was 7-10 days early for that. If we get some sunny days, things will explode with color.
I started out thinking I would use primarily my wide-angle lens, but I ended up using every lens in my bag. The blooms were bent over, not straightening up without some sun, so I had to lay on the ground for many of the pictures. With all the rain we’ve had, it was a trick to stay reasonably clean.
But I’m happy with my results.
