Rain
on the Perennial Garden by Sue Schwartz (Photograph, 2005) St. Paul's Episcopal, Bound Brook, NJ sueschwartz@att.net
This is my favorite park. I have watched it grow from
a plain lawn with a few shrubs and mounds of mulch to
a classic garden full of blooms, interest and life. There
is a gazebo which is perfect for a summer's evening prayer
service. One evening when we were rained out I took this
picture before joining up with the more sensible folk
already dry in the church.
I am a Mother, Social Worker and life long Anglican living
in New Jersey with my boys and husband. I have always
loved photography. A few years ago my whole family realized
I was taking so many pictures it just made sense to buy
me a digital camera. They were absolutely right and now
I carry a camera with me everywhere everyday. Sometimes
the camera helps me see the things I feel. Sometimes I
take the same picture over and over and it takes such
a long time to get in print what I want to see. Sometimes
the moments I catch are a total surprise and a blessing.
