The Museum Garden at Evening

I post photos to Flickr, Facebook, and lately Instagram, and sometimes I forget what I have posted where.

One recent evening I wanted to back and take more photos of the poppies. This time I went earlier, hoping to catch backlight, but the tall trees behind still blocked the light. So, I moved on to the garden y the museum. It was buggy and shady, but I caught a bit of backlight in some shots.

I don't know what flower this is, but I like it.



A peony with some light filtering through.



A flowerbox catching the light.



A closeup of the same flowerbox with one flower poking through the fence.




A somewhat impressive planter.




A bench in an alcove. You wouldn't have wanted to rest there on this very buggy evening.

Backlighting is fun and requires excellent timing. I have done some of this with my garden. Your photos motivate me. I think that one flower is a wild geranium.

For artists and photographer light is often the difference between good and outstanding...

You inspired me. I toddles down and found one remaining lady slipper! We just missed them...the trip was worth it, though.

Evening light presents such wonderful possibilities as you have shown here, John.
