I mentioned Friday that we hit a local garden, Thanksgiving Point, last week. It's very close to my house, so I have no idea why I've never visited before. But this won't be the last visit, in fact I'm thinking a season pass is in my future. It was beautiful - and from a photography standpoint it was a great place to experiment.
We were there about an hour before sunset so the light was all golden and amazing.
Isn't it amazing the way a change of scenery can suddenly make your creative spark shine so much brighter?
I love the way blogging connects us with talented people - they inspire me and push me to keep going. Usually this inspiration keeps me exploring with a camera, but a while back I discovered a very talented lady, Tina Jo, who is an artist, photographer, and songwriter, whose song "Gingerbread Man" has been released as a single - how cool is that!
