Just turning from ...

Just turning from Chanticleer's Tea Cup Garden, a small gem-like courtyard behind the smaller of two residences at this amazing garden outside Philadelphia ...


... I took this shot of an oak and the space above the Tennis Court Garden, which is at a lower level and not visible. The low fall sunlight is the main subject here, but notice the contrast of the large, bold foliage in the foreground with the finer foliage in the distance, the spires of Arundo donax just visible in the mid-distance and the depth they both give to the image, the colors in the multitude of ground cover plants beneath the oak.

But details aside, is this magic?
