Salt of the Earth

I saw this film today.  It was visually stunning as well as thought provoking, heartbreaking and hopeful.

Because what else would I do at a garden?

As I visited the Thanksgiving point gardens this week I realized that without a camera I probably wouldn't enjoy gardens much at all.  But with a camera, botanical gardens are an endless photo opportunity, a chance to capture an image and create something artistic.  Photography is my creative outlet and for me it's pretty therapeutic, a really good way to unwind and relax.  I spent 4 hours at the gardens and took 439 pictures which equals 1.8 pictures per minute.   This time I focused on "really close up shots".
