Garden Stroll

Every morning I venture out with our dog, Carly.  We have many trails to pick from and places to roam but during the spring and summer we often choose Abbo's Alley, a garden in the center of campus.  Abbo's Alley is ever changing and a fun place to take photos of the lush beauty that abounds.  There are many plantings, mature trees and stone mason built bridges and walkways.  I always fine something there to photograph.  I hope that I can adequately share just a tad of what my eyes have enjoyed this day.
