| I need the thyme |
This garden season is winding down and I’ve been photographing the progress and bounty since the seeds hit the dirt. From the first emergence from the soil to the time they came to the kitchen, my camera has been as much a part of my gardening tools as watering can.

That's the end of my self indulgent food porn for today. I would love to hear from anyone who enjoys photographing their garden's success and harvest. Is there anyone so obsessed?
On to the newest thing . . . the hummingbirds. Beware.
