Visiting Cranbrook Gardens

There have been several suggestions by many members to go to Cranbrook Gardens. Being a fan of flowers, and gardens tended by other people, I thought, "why not".

I found that I was again, overwhelmed a little bit by the scope of the place. I kept thinking "this was someone's house.. who lives like this??" which was quickly followed by "Why can't I live like this???"

Ok, ok.. I didn't really think that. But the place is huge, and is landscaped with geometrical gardens, and pool sized fountains.

I will say, I wasn't in much of a mood to photograph anything that day, and I'm not sure why. So, I only got a few photos. But then, one of our members ended up coming by, and brought with her a model. YAY.

Having the model there kind of reinvigorated me. At least to a degree. I've never worked with a model before (besides my sister, but that's another story), but she was exceptionally accommodating, and I'm grateful she came out to pose for us!!
