One of my favorite places to visit in the summer, the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, is still closed to the public while volunteers work to planting and pruning after a long absence.
So instead of new photos from a recent visit, I’ve gathered some from a visit in 2018. I had just gotten a new iPhone with Apple’s portrait feature, and spent a whole morning experimenting with it by taking close ups of flowers. I hope they brighten your Friday!
