Can never get enough of them! All these were grown in our own garden at Hillhaven.



Summer in Paris brings an abundance of blooms to the street markets, fleuristas and upscale floral boutiques. We've just returned from our second trip to the city in as many months and it was a delight to photograph so much color and beauty! A collection of our Parisian floral images are now live on our website here.
At Au Nom de la Rose (locations throughout Paris), rose petals strewn on the floor are part of the regular decor.
Hope you enjoyed this little tour of the fabulous floral markets in Paris. Be sure to see the whole collection here!
Blue doors. Roses. Ancient stone. We were pretty much in heaven in the French countryside in early June.

I'm kind of surprised we came home at all!
We've just returned from touring Picardy and Normandy in France, as well as visiting Paris. Beautiful weather, incredible gardens and wonderful people. Here is a sneak peek of the stunning terraced gardens at Chateau de Brecy.
Elements of French and Italian garden styles create interesting views from every angle.
It was a challenge finding the chateau, even though it is just off the main road to Bayeux. Even locals in the village two miles away hadn't seemed to have heard of it!
The full collection of images will be posted in the library soon. In the meantime, do contact us for more information.
There's something delightful about botanical teacups!



I can't seem to get enough of the wayward charm of these wonderfully entertaining flowers! They aren't readily available here in the Northwest so I special order them at this time of year and then go a bit crazy photographing them. See the latest images here!
I was fortunate to visit Charleston in early April, blessed with perfect weather and the city looking its most charming with spring bloom, freshly-washed blue skies and welcoming smiles from everyone.
The city's garden tours were in full swing, with enthusiastic visitors clutching maps and criss-crossing the streets of the historic district – Meeting Street, Church Street, Tradd and Water – all the while dazzled by the colorful and exuberant displays in every garden and under every window.
