Local Showers

Water spills over the pillar of a fountain at the Inter Continental Hotel in Buckhead. Given the location of this hotel, the garden there is a wonderful and unexpected gem.

I love the bokeh on this one.

Buried Gold

The golden pheasant knew where to hide and most guests were passing him by. However, his bright plumage was difficult to disguise from everyone and when I saw it peekng out from between some palm fronds, I knew there was only one way to get a good view. Ducking down beneath the tree, he presented in multicolored beauty.

Peter Pan – Skeleton to Flesh

In early December 2009, my wife and I took the Backstage Magic Tour at Walt Disney World. In most places, I had to keep the camera in it’s case. But allowed us to let the shutters fly in one greenhouse where they assemble the topiaries.

At the end of March 2010, my wife and I returned to Walt Disney World to celebrate our first anniversary.

Here we have a before and after. On the left is the skeletal underpinnings of a Peter Pan topiary. On the right is the same topiary taken in the England Pavilion at Epcot during the 2010 Flower and Garden Festival.
