Brookside Gardens - August 2012
/Brookside Gardens in August - the plants are hanging on in the heat, making seed pods. There are quite a few with lots of buds brought on by the recent rains and the coming reduction in temperatures. The textures and shapes that I focused on during my walk included:
- Fan-like gingko leaves
- Pleats of the yellow petals behind a fuzzy bee
- Folds of a hibiscus petal just opening
- Feathery papyrus
- Curved path through the rose garden and purple crepe myrtle
- Overlapping of petals of an old rose…the tight furl of a bud
- Compartments of a lotus pod
- The compactness of a passion flower bud
- The ripples behind two ducks
