Tea olive blossoms

I'm drawn to our back yard by the wonderful fragrance of an old tea olive tree flanking this stone garden path.  The tiny white blossoms carpet the walkway beneath the tree and the aroma is heavenly.  I took this with my wide angle lens and, although there are some elements of the image I like, for some reason the composition is awkward to me.  I think it would have helped if I had stood at a different place relative to the stones, but I'm not sure.  Maybe I'll go back and crop it at a different angle to see if it looks better. At least I'm learning when composition feels right and wrong, even if I can't fully explain why....

Old Stuff

Today we went to an antique store that has great old things for the garden (and home). We were on a mission to find an old sink to use in a potting shed. We found a sink we think would work, and I took out my iphone to take a photo to send to our builder. While we were there, I found that it was a great place to take photos. This is another one of those places I think I'llgo back to with my regular camera to get some higher resolution images. In the meantime, here are the ones from today.

Ivy wall

This is a wall in our garden. I like the way the light brings out the textures in this photo.
