Skywatch Friday
It has been a while since I participated in Skywatch Friday. These shots were taken with Skywatch in mind. They are from the Perennial Garden at the NYBG. I took three pictures of the scene and decided to post all of them here. All three and especially the last could have had benefited from a larger Depth of Field. The last one is kind of a blooper but it is posted just to show the background. The building is the Enid Haupt Conservatory (click the About link for the history).
Visit Sky Watch Friday for more skies around the world.

This perspective is always interesting - flowers reaching for the sky. I've never heard the term Dumbo's Ears, though!
The simplicity make the photos great!
Great composition on these photos. Beautiful sky and coneflowers!
Thanks for showing these photos, I enjoyed them very much. Have a great weekend.
Hi Chris, interesting rudbeckia, but the daylilies below are super delicious. And I like the conservatory in soft focus, otherwise might overshadow the poor little flower! Have a great time pruning, Sara
