Overgrown Coneflowers

Coneflowers are a symbol of strength — and the purple coneflower is also a potent healing.

click These bright, beautiful blossoms are long-lasting, adding bright hues of purple for late July and August. Coneflowers have great character in their many stages of growth and decline, and then finally decay. A grace and posture accompany the coneflower through each of its life stages – bud, brightly petaled flower, dying flower, and the lovely seedhead.

The bright orange cone heads contrasting with the bright to pale pinks and purples are one of the prettiest natural contrasts in the prairie garden.

watch Photography is art using light as its medium. Without light, there would be no photographs. I was quite awe-struck by the beauty of the light in the many greens – highlighted in the low angled sunlight. So many shades in one green leaf, interspersed lights and shadows.

The sunlight’s reflection on the large leaf of the elephant ear plant, the sun still strong, still a summer’s sun although its strength wanes each day as we add a few night minutes onto out 24 hour allotment, subtract a few light minutes.

Warm on my arms, warm enough to cause me to break into a sweat under my hat band, a glowing feeling, a feeling of well-being. All is right my my tiny garden world when the sun shines.

Sunlit Hosta

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.  ~ Marcel Proust

Sunday morning was one of those delicious Wisconsin mornings. So fresh and sunny, a gentle breeze, a few puffy clouds drifting along. It was the kind of morning that begs for adventure. Well,  perhaps not a big adventure, but surely a trip across town to visit the local botanical gardens.

I’ve spent many hours at the Olbrich Botanical Garden on Madison’s east side – one of the premier botanical gardens in the United States. I thought the above quote was appropriate for this garden visit, because I took my first 85 photographs within 20 feet of the entrance to the outdoor gardens.

One more reminder that one does not need to look hard or far to find a great photographic subject.

It took over an hour for me to move beyond the front entrance and these entrancing hosta. The sun, still quite low on the horizon, was shining brightly on the hosta foliage. Too bright for any photography without a diffuser, and I had left the diffuser in the car. Once I started poking around the plants, however, I discovered a delightful world of light under the hosta leaves. Oh, what a world of delight and lovely lighting and textures.

Many more photographs of hosta to come . . .
