Seen at Schreiner's Iris Gardens - No. 4 - Leland

Thank you for allowing my indulgence in posting all of these photos of Leland taking photos at Schreiner's on Memorial Day. I knew he'd enjoy himself since he likes to take photos of flowers in his neighborhood or while on hikes. I had a blast sharing this gorgeous place with you, honey!

Leland, "I can see cars on the interstate, in the background!" Me, "I don't think they'll mess up your photo, honey." Leland, "I know, Mom." To orient you to where we are in relation to the demonstation gardens, they are located behind those tall trees. There's a path to these fields to the left of the portable facilities.



Leland. See what I mean? Those vehicles are but spots in the distance; it matters not that they're hurtling along northbound on I-5.



Leland. I wonder whether all of this ground used to be a forest of trees like the ones which remain. Somehow I think that has to be true.



Leland trying to get the shot that he sees with his eyes, always, like me, wishing that the camera could take a photo of exactly what we see.

Leland, intensely pondering his next photo.

Leland, photographing gunnera, #1- what do I want to focus on here?



Leland, photographing gunnera, #2 - Ah, that's it.



Leland, photographing gunnera, #3- Click!



Leland and the purple iris.



Leland early on realized he'd be able to get only so close.



Leland graciously sat down when I asked him so that I could take this smiling photo! Love this young man
