FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While at the Clark Botanical Gardens located in Albertson, New York on Long Island I was in a section of the Clark Gardens that had many various flowers lined up by each other. As I was sitting there taking a rest with my camera I noticed a bee fly right onto a flower and start making his way to the bud. I got up slowly put my zoom lens on and made my way towards the flower and bee. AS I got closer I set my camera so I would blur out the background and capture the bee and flower in all of their details. I was literally able to get right on top of this flower without the bee moving and take this photograph opportunity as the bee sat there feeding off of the nectar and the flower was so gorgeous in full bloom with it's pedals fully opened and the background came out just the way I wanted it with the blur effect I was looking for. The Clark Botanic Garden (12 acres) is a botanical garden located on Long Island at 193 I. U. Willets Rd, Albertson, New York. It is open to the public 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily but closed winter weekends; a voluntary donation is requested.
The garden was established in 1969 on the former estate of Grenville Clark, a noted attorney, author, and advisor to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In 1966, Clark donated his home to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The site now contains approximately 5,000 species of plants, with over 1,000 labeled trees, shrubs, and garden plants arranged in 12 specialty gardens. Collections include native wildflowers, conifers, roses, perennials, daylilies, wetland plants, rock garden plants, herbs, butterfly plants, and medicinal plants.
During the summer months free compost is available to local residents.
