When I was in college, I was lucky enough to take a year off, and spend half of it living in England. This shot was taken in my aunt’s back yard, using my denim shirt as a backdrop.

Iron Gate and Ivy
Another one from the gardens at Harkness. I was a bit surprised to realize this is the first photo I’ve posted that features ironwork… it’s one of my recurring themes.
Red Gerbera, Blue Vase
