Nice job on land rehab! I love your landscaping. The little drops to the right (I forget their name) seem a little out of focus, but everything is so colorful and crisp. Nice lighting.

Thanks for your review!! The drops are bleeding hearts (dicentra), It was hard to get everything in focus--but couldn't get a better shot for some reason. : ) Paula

Thanks Sam, The bleeding hearts were huge this year--I guess all the warm weather. I could just photograph them forever!! Thanks for reviewing Paula
