    Default Reader Rock Garden

    At the end of the summer, the Reader Rock Garden is past its prime. But there are still lots of wonderfully colorful flowers in bloom. The Garden is cared for by the City of Calgary Parks Department. More The City of Calgary: Reader Rock Garden
    It's a friendly inviting place.


    With lots of rocks.

    Doesn't look past its prime to me. It looks like a nice walking path that's changing seasons. Nice set.

    But the main attraction for me was the flowers, some very unusual ones, all nicely cared for and displayed.

    Nicely cared for indeed. Nothing's been munching on them. Very pretty.

    Enjoy. Mike

    Looking at this great set of photos, it's like walking there myself. Well done and I definitely enjoy the pictures. The last one is THE eyecatcher!

    Too funny I was just about to post that my fave was Post 3 shot 1, but then I scrolled down to the bee shots.
    Lovely set here...even the exposures in the harsh light in post 1 are well handled.

    Wonderful set(s), Mike. Love the plant/flower life. It is indeed a wonderful garden, that's for sure. And your images do pay it justice.
