Gardens (Photograph)

This image of flowers left with me an impression of a tapestry or flowered cloth. It has a great range of colors and hues as well as lights and darks. The orange color is very striking against the light and dark green. I could almost imagine a cloth woven with the pattern of the crossing vines, leaves, and flowers of various hues.

Summer here has been quite dry this year but these flowers got their start in early Spring before the lack of water set in. There is also a pond nearby but how much ground water there is in the area one can only guess. These flowers were quickly losing ground to the ever dryer weather.

I took this photo from the back of the flowers and vines with a low sun on the horizon to the right. It provided a great contrast with the background which was quickly growing in shadow.
