Revisiting a Late Summer Garden: Part ONE

I know it is autumn.  And here...the leaves are FANTASTIC right now.

IN fact, as you are reading this, I am probably out running around like a crazy woman

in our back woods to capture photos for you.

So, while I am away from my computer,

today, I decided to post some pictures for you

of a nearby garden that I frequent.

It is called CARP RIVER GARDENS and it is located in Negaunee, Michigan.

It is run by two men and it grows every year. 

They only charge $5.00 a CARLOAD to come and look and meander around their gardens

and it is well worth every penny.

It seems like you can go there every two weeks and see completely new plants and flowers

in bloom.

I went there in late summer,

and caught some gorgeous flowers.

So, for the next few days, I am going to treat you with some views of this gorgeous place.

Enjoy!!

I completely fell in love with these crazy daisies:

Yellow flowers just uplift my spirits.

How about you?:

And those of you that know me well...know how passionately I feel about Iris's!:

They have such interesting "other things" stewn throughout their gardens too...

I loved these river rocks put on old metal candle stands....

and I just had to make this shot in black and white too!:

I don't know WHERE they got these fantastic benches...but does anyone want to help me steal them

in the middle of the night? We need a big van and lots of muscles....(LOL):

More rocks in black and white....I love how the water dripping on some made those holes!:

Stay tuned for more shots of this incredible garden and its everchanging flowers....
