A New Perspective

Well, it was quite a revelation to me to see what a professional photographer could do with my garden. It looks completely different. I didn't really plan on this. My brother, Brian McWeeney, who makes a living as a photographer, was visiting us from Texas a week or so ago. You can't keep a photographer from taking photos so I was happy he took his camera out to my backyard. Check it out.

    Hi Jean, now that is a revelation! I would love for him to visit my garden, he obviously can see what we mere mortals cannot. The photo of the stacked saucers blew me away!

    How pretty, Jean! I like them all...the saucers are eye catching. I love the shade of blue on the bluebonnets!

    Oh what great photography! Isn't it interesting to see your garden through someone else's camera and eyes?

    As I tend to take photos every day, I find something beautiful in most any old thing. It's the texture and the way it looks different through the lens of a camera for me. He captured those perfectly.

    Always nice to have a professional look at things. I was especially enamored by the pot saucers. Shows that perspective always beats the camera hands down.

    Thank you for sharing.~~Dee

    Hi Jean, I must say your brother did an outstanding job, but also upon looking around I see you take pretty awesome photos too. I especially love the bouganvilla and those sculptures. That garden spade would go perfect in my garden:) Have a great day.

    Really great shots. I like how your brother used a shallow depth of field to concentrate on interesting details while letting the rest of the image turn into a beautiful blur.
