The Magic Cottage Revisited
Saturday, June 18, 2011 at 7:45AM 
Back at the Planting Fields Arboretum, each month brings a different set of possibilities. I like to return to places often to observe nature's changes. Sometimes just a few weeks will make all the difference in what's blooming. In fact, just one month ago, this old play house was surrounded by Cherry Blossoms.
Rain was a looming possibility so I took advantage of the cloud diffused light. Set up was quick with a wide angle lens, tripod and small aperture for great depth of field. Camera settings: 17mm, f13, 1/25, ISO 800.
The term "Magic Cottage" was something I first heard in the book "Creative Companion" by the inspirational author SARK. I'd highly recommend her works if you're looking for a bit of a creative pick-me-up.
