Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
I recently went over to a friend’s house. It was a gorgeous sunny day (probably one of the last before it started to get cold and grim) so we decided to sit in the garden. As I sitting there I noticed this small garden with its oriental lanterns.

This garden is outside a popular Japanese restaurant: Sushi Mikes. I’ve heard its very good, but have never eaten there. I think what caught my eye was the eclectic mix of objects in the garden: the car; the empty gumball machine; whatever that thing is with the US flag design that’s behind the car. There were other objects including a grouping of small dog statues, but I couldn’t fit them all in.

I’ve often passed this garden during my regular walks. It’s always fascinated me, but I’m not sure exactly why. Maybe it’s because it’s a sort of oasis of lush vegetation in the middle of the desert of the lawn?

A final set of pictures from the Armour-Stiner house in Irvington, NY. The grounds are not large and there’s not much in the way of flower beds, but there are a number of interesting structures. I found the greenhouse to be particularly interesting. A number of the buildings are replicas of those that once existed, but the greenhouse is apparently a restored Lord & Burnham Greenhouse.
