Garden Photography In The San Bernardino Mountains

69

By SweetiePie

There is something mesmerizing about taking pictures of a garden up in the San Bernardino Mountains. During the summer months the climate is ideal for growing a variety of fruits, vegetable, and flowers, which is something I documented with my camera back in July. Come with me for a virtual tour of a garden and Sweety cat prancing about. If you enjoy photography like me, then grab your digital camera and take some photographs of your garden to share here on Hubpages. So what is your favorite fruit and/or vegetable to pick in the garden? I would have to say mine are chili peppers and tomatoes, just to share.

As I walk around the garden snapping pictures, I think of all the lovely vegetable I can pick for a salad. Photography can make you very hungry and ready to eat.

Below you can see more of the garden photography that I captured up in the San Bernardino Mountains. I particularly enjoy photographing Sweety cat as she rests in the la jardin, which is French for garden.

This reminded me of a time I visited Chicago's botanical garden and saw a very exciting orchard where they were growing many things, including eggplant, leek, tomatoes, chili peppers, zucchini, spinach, chard, beets, apples, pears, blackberries (which are my personal favorite to grow), etc, etc, all of it lovely.

Hi Claudia,

I love blackberries, too. I have never tried to grow those, but that sounds fun.

Thanks, for sharing. I like your use of color, which comes naturally from your surroundings. I especially like the morning glories and your use of light as well. My favorite of course, is Sweety Cat on the garden steps!!

I think my favorite picture was of the morning glories... it seemed like they were glowing in the picture. It is amazing how many pictures you can take of everyday items and still come up with something amazing!

Oh, Julia, this is so beautiful! The morning glory and the roses seem so touchable from my screen. I like all of your work but this one is by far my favorite!

My favorite garden fruit is blackberries, yum.

Hi Barbergirl,

I really love morning glories, and I think their name is well deserved. Thanks for your nice comments!

Hi Marie,

I love blackberries too, but I think those are one of my sister's favorites. Thanks for your lovely comments!
