The bed of canna plants I found at the Harry & David garden were exceptionally beautiful and the light was perfect to show of the lovely colors.

Canna plants are native to the tropics and are popular in gardens for their lush and colorful foliage. I found a bed full of these stunning red and green striped plants at the Harry & David garden and loved the opportunity to photograph them to my heart's content! :) I really loved the way this image turned out for so many reasons...the light, the bokeh, the lines, the colors, the texture, and the abstractness!

The Harry & David public garden may be known for its roses, but there are countless other flowers and plants to appreciate there. I found a bed of striped canna plants and lost myself in the beauty of the colorful leaves and the way the light made them glow. I took so many pictures and in the end, I got a series of images that have made me very happy! This is a close-up of the stunning colors shown so vividly with sunlight shining through a leaf.

On the afternoon of October 1, 2016, a fire broke out on our property. It raced across one of our meadows, completely destroyed our shop, and roared up to the top of our ridge before finally being put out. One day, when I could bear to witness the aftermath, I wandered up onto our hillside and captured some of the things that I saw. This is a dying leaf on a Manzanita that was burned too badly to survive. Even still there is beauty as it glows warmly in the late afternoon sun.
