Natural History Wanderings

I haven’t been to Blake Garden in about 3 months.   It is only a few miles from home and was due for a visit.  For the first time, it was not the quiet garden with only a few people about.  There was a school group of young children around on what seemed like a combination tour and experiential workshop.  They pretty much stayed to themselves so they didn’t create a major change on the garden ambiance.  It was a Bay Area Indian Summer day. Warm and sunny.  Only a small amount of haze on the bay.  Due to the early strong sun I looked for flowers in the shade to photograph and only used a diffuser or reflector a few times.  Here is what I came up with today.
