Here are a few photos taken this morning while walking
around the Gardens at Waters East on
the shores of Lake Michigan.
Thought you might like to see some of the plants that are blooming this
time of the summer – some just getting started others nearing the end. Soon after taking these photos it
started to rain – and the rain is greatly needed – nice!

Beautiful! The rain would be more than welcome here as well.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think the light by the lake is different in some way -- kind of misty and magical. Your photos are stunning--especially the shot of the Pink Mallow. Lovely.
