Each year, probably at least twice, I am lured to photograph the dreamland of our neighbor Jenny’s garden.

Her ENTIRE backyard is a haven of paths, perennials, woodland creatures, bird houses, luscious scents, and buzzing bees.

In return, I gift her with images. Pretty awesome deal.

Here are some captured with my Canon 7D and Control Freak Lensbaby.

Selective focus achieved with the Lensbaby assists in capturing the other-worldliness of this haven.
