minns up close

I love having the historic Minns Garden right outside the building where I work. It’s got great bones. But I’ll admit that there are so many things going on in there that my eyes glaze over when I walk by or through. I needed a break from a Saturday morning session in the office today. So I decided to make the most of it and take a closer look.

I’m not sure I should admit that I watched these. Apologies to my friends south of the Mason-Dixon line. (These don’t lend credibility to some of his other views.)

Just time for a couple of quick scans. Lots blooming. But no time to do anything really artsy-fartsy. Thanks, as usual, for Carol for hosting at May Dreams. More scans here. Flower scanning directions are here. Practice up. I’ll be judging the Picture This contest in October. See Nan’s post and scans.
