Jimmy's Garden Party

After Fionnuala & Donncha's wedding in Marlfield House, we popped down the road to Ferrycarrig where it was my Uncle Jimmy's 60th birthday. My last visit was in 1976so things had changed quite a bit since then. Jimmy is a fine horticulturalist, so between the showers on Saturday evening I had a little stroll around his beautiful garden, before quietly celebrating the big birthday.

In gardens, I like to handhold the camera, get in close, and focus on details with a shallow depth of field - all things the textbooks on plant/macro photography tell you not to do.
