…the fleeting details. I was walking around the lake at Innisfree Garden in Millbrook, New York, a couple of summers ago with a bunch of gardening pals when we just happened to catch this ephemeral sight. The light wasn’t great for garden photos–too bright and sunny–but it was great for shadows!
Innisfree is one of my favorite public gardens to visit. It’s stunning and incredibly peaceful. Check out this photo gallery on their website!

Thank you! This photo is a great start to my day!
LOVE this! I'm always taking mental snapshots of moments like this and am so glad you caught it for us to see!
I love this photo! What kind of tree is the shadow being cast on? I see these around but I do not know the species.
maybe stewartia, or sycamore? handsome.
i love innisfree; what a huge and one-of-a-kind place of the chinese landscape school.so lucky to have had a generous donor of the property and a generous volunteer force to care for and manage it.a very magical environment there.very hard to describe. hope you'll show more shots of it, michelle. thnx much.
