We are very lucky to have many nice attractions in our town, especially Merlin's Hollow, the English garden that is free and open to the public four times a year. The English garden has gardens within. Each has its own character or theme. These are some of the photos of the flowers I captured. I probably captured over 80 different species, but believe it or not, the garden has over 1500. That is a lot, and it is only on 1 acre of land.
What confessions, you may ask? Well, I have not been here for a while. Life is busy and keeps us out of trouble. I am still with Matthew. He is not going to school this year, but next year. I better enjoy this time even more. I know I will miss him.
Oh, I forgot about the confessions. The confession I have is that I started a local blog in our town, Living In Aurora. I noticed that, over the past 13 years, a lot has changed in our town. So for the record, I started to post pictures from our town and write. I write my opinions. I try to stay away from politics, as it is a very confusing topic to be involved in, but I vote.
I guess now you know why I have been absent here. Yes, I've been spending more time around our Town. But no worries, this blog, My Only Photo and Story Blob, was born with Matthew, and I am not leaving the premises. I may post less and visit less, but I will be here.

I will have to go look at your other blog. I'm glad you're writing!
Your expertise with macros and depth of fields is spectacular! I'm an eternal fan of your pictures, all of them.
Its great that you are writing about current issues in Aurora. Blogs are simple yet effective tools to communicate the views of a common citizen. All the best for that project!
I prefer the second
Can't believe you are starting a 3rd blog. Good Luck..I have trouble just keeping up with ONE... ha
Hugs,
Betsy
Ese jardín es el Eden, las fotos tienen una nitidez muy buena. Un abrazo y feliz verano
I love the second one.
Now that you've reminded me of that fact, I better do something about it before I kick the bucket. And yes, Glorious images once again.
Take Care,
Peter
Happy Sunday :-)
PS Thank you for the nice comment. It was much appreciated.
Enjoy that little one as long as you can - my baby is having babies now - they grow too fast and those grandbabies are the best too!
I will check out your new blog.
Take care, my friend!
Kathy
it is exciting to watch our babies grown and become their own person through stages of life
good luck with all your new plans
You re the best photographer of wild flowers I ever saw. Just wonderful.
The queen and I just returned from Vancouver. It was a fabulous city. It reminds me of a college town. Young people were everywhere, even late into the evenings.
Our youngest daughter just got married and the ceremony was great. I had tears in my eyes throughout the entire ceremony. We just hope that she still comes to visit us in a regular basis. Every week would be nice. We'll see how it goes.
I always love your posts.
Happy trails
Talk again soon. :)
You will be involved in your blogs then, so that will help with the transition. The community blog sounds like an all-around good thing to do.
I'm glad you have access to these gardens and yes, your photos are very beautiful!
I enjoyed looking over your work :)
All the best
