I’m back from a wonderful week photographing gardens in four states – Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania Most of the gardens I photographed were ones I visited during my Gardens of Philadelphia workshop. After the workshop ended, I took a day to visit the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. There is an amazing exhibit of some of Dale Chihuly’s glass sculptures at the the NYBG – so I just had to visit while I was in the area. I thought I’d share a few of my photos from the trip (and an exciting announcement) with you today.
And my big announcement is that I will be leading my Gardens of Philadelphia workshop again next year. The gardens were incredible – lots of wonderful flowers everywhere. Tentative dates are May 6-11, 2018. The workshop will be limited to 6 participants. If this workshop sounds like an adventure you’d like to join me for, drop me a note and I’ll make sure you’re among the first to hear when registration opens.
I love photographing irises. They are one of my favorite spring flowers. From the little dwarf irises that bloom in March to the Siberian and Bearded irises blooming in April & May and ending with the Water Irises blooming in June, I can photograph irises for months here in the Washington DC area. I’ve created a new video for you with some of my recent iris photos. The photos are accompanied by an arrangement for flute and harp based on Bizet’s L’arlesienne.
I hope you enjoy seeing my new video
If you like photographing irises as much as I do, join me for my Gardens of Philadlephia workshop from May 15-20. We’ll be visiting several gardens that should have irises in bloom and ready to photograph.
If you have any questions about this workshop, just drop me a note and we’ll find time to talk.
I think I’ve found all of my iris photos from earlier this year and this is the last set for me to share. These area a few Siberian irises, Japanese Water irises and a Blue Flag Iris.
I realized that I never shared my last sets of irises from this spring. So today I’ll be sharing some photos of bearded irises – and I’ll share the siberian, flag and water irises soon. I hope you enjoy a last taste of spring bearded irises.
