Rooftop Garden Friday, No. 3

DSC_0087

Through the camera lens, I witnessed the wind's whimsy. Thankfully, I captured a split second of it to share with you, the blurred blossoms and the still blossoms alongside the sunlit buds on their impossibly slender and tall stems.

This rooftop garden is on the fifth floor of the six-story building where I work, the Multnomah County building. I found online that the garden covers 11,893 square feet as planted area, with a total square footage for the green roof that includes a patio and some raised beds of 15,420.

One more thing--this photo is straight out of the camera. Serendipity, brought to you by a Nikon D5100. Yea for me that it's mine to enjoy!

I love the outline of the buds, from the sun.

Nice composition!

I'm reminded of the rooftop of a museum here, that has a planted field of grasses and poppies.

I like the feeling of motion.

This would be a good one for the oil painting stuff too.
