I owe these images to renowned Canadian

photographer Freeman Patterson.

He wrote "The Garden" (2008).

Toronto:Key Porter books Ltd.

The book chronicles his garden in New Brunswick

across the seasons with text and photography.

He advocates capturing impressionistic

images of flowers and trees by capturing

them in wind "dancing" or by jumping

up and down while taking the shots.

These shots are taken in wind.

So instead of fighting the wind or

not doing photography at all on a windy

day one works with it.

Hope that you enjoy these images.

Have a working-with-the-obstacles-

kind of day.

Helen.
