Watering a Garden

My sister and her husband went somewhere for a week.  This means I was contacted with the hopes that I could feed their cats and water their garden.  I told them I could and when I went over today, I brought my camera.  I decided to try an "action shot" with my wife watering the garden.  The action was just the drops of water being sprayed over some tomatoes.

Watering the Green Tomatoes

Though it might not appear green at all in the final image, the tomato was a very light green in real life, leaning towards the white that you see here.  I like how the blurred lines created by the poured water act as leading lines that draw the attention back to the tomato.

Longwood Gardens

We went to Longwood Gardens with some friends of ours today.  Its a rather nice, rather massive garden about an hour away from where we live.  It was fun.  I took pictures.  It's late now, though, so I'm not going to do much more explaining of the day, the things we saw, the history of the place, or the things I photographed.  Hopefully the quantity will make up for the words I am without.

Lily

This is some part of some flower.  I only know that it is a lily because it was in a massive room labeled as a lily display.

Not Sure

Someone help.  I really should know this one.  It looks ridiculously familiar, but I just don't recall what it is.  It reminds me of a Jack In the Pulpit.

  Cactus

These edges are edges of some type of cactus.  I sure know my plants.

Ridley Creek State Park

Today was my wife's birthday.  She requested a fun day somewhere.  I found a place not too far away that seemed to have the historic stuff that she likes as well as the outdoorsy nature stuff that I like.  It was Ridley Creek State Park and it was awesome.

Mansion at Ridley Creek State Park

This mansion is currently the state park office.  The grounds directly surrounding the mansion have tons of little paths.  One of which will lead you to...

Door to a Greenhouse

There is a pretty old, rather run-down greenhouse quite close to the mansion.  A gate led us to this door.  This door led us to...

Dilapidated Greenhouse

 Branches from plants that were not supposed to be in this greenhouse have broken through the glass and are winding their way across the ceiling.  The plants seem to be doing better than the building is.
