Bright Blue Globes

https://penielenv.com/eg1u1igz1 A visit to the local garden center this weekend provided me with a two hour photo shoot. I pretty much emptied my wallet to do some replacement purchasing for foundation plantings for my home – six bushes and a European Filbert Tree that I was told was native to Wisconsin. (Go figure!) It looks like a giant corkscrew.  So, as a result of my contribution to their economy, I felt it only right and proper that I get some photo subjects out of the deal.

Autumn Reflections

From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. ~ ‘Taps’
