The garden I think belongs to a dentist. It’s tucked a little bit around the back, I’ve walked past quite a few times never noticed before !
I got quite a few shots here. Although I really like this one – the fan of the palm in foreground, the hanging vine in the midground and the flowers in the background 🙂

Good photo, Don! Nothing better than a tropical garden. Love the abstract effect of the palm frond. Cheers!
Thanks Maria, my lateral/creative thinking kicks in sometimes giving me good vantage point for photographing … I’m so pleased you like it it reassures me that I’m getting it right 🙂
Nice shot Don – thanks for a bright spot in my day
You are welcome … looking for bright spots is the photographers job !
That is brilliant..beautiful colours 😉 I have taken to noticing a few things that I wouldnt have before since I became interested in photography.. trouble is I cant stop snapping 😉
LOL same for me, I’ve even been digging in the achives !
This is so cool! The fan palm looks like a special effect!
Thanks Nia … and yes it’s a special Don Charisma effect LOL
That’s beautiful. I wonder if colors would brighten if the sun was shining through?
I turned down the brightness and upped the contrast … it was late afternoon/evening time when I took the shot and I had problems with sun haze anyway … so it came out well all things considered !
Sure is secret alright! Lots of growth there… Our Dentist it seems has a green thumb! Just so long as he doesn’t have yellow teeth :O)
Don’t think he’d have many customers with yellow teeth !
I enjoy the feeling of thinking of being lost and in the moment. Even in a garden, if you clear your mind and focus on breathing, calming that one patch of foliage seems to expand infinitely.
Very well put Christopher … When I did my 10 day vipassana it was wonderful to have a calm mind and just be 🙂 I do get some moments like that still, enjoy them when they are here …
Wow…a green-fingered dentist…at least you know he’ll be careful with his patient’s teeth as much as he is careful with the layout and plants in his garden. It would be a good place to recuperate after having half your teeth yanked out.
Lovely photos DC!!

LOL, sounds like you’ve been on an imrpo course ! …

Liked the garden view from across the palm leaves.
Thanks, it’s an angle that I hoped would make a nice photo 🙂
Great photo and beautiful garden.
