So here we are with a new feature, the photo of the week. While the Garden is closed for the season, we’ll be publishing one picture each week from this past year of garden goodness.
But this is a picture with a difference. Follow the link at the end of this post, and you’ll be presented with a web page on which the picture appears, but you’ll be able to zoom into the picture with full high resolution to see all the details contained in it.
Use the blue box inside the small version of the picture in the upper left corner to move to a point in the picture that you’d like to examine close up. Then use the zoom slider at the bottom to move into the picture. Depending on the speed of your connection, it might take a few moments for the picture to focus, but it will. Then try moving the blue box to another area.
We hope you’ll enjoy these large format pictures. However, because the file sizes are so large, you’ll have just this week to enjoy it. Next week there will be a new picture, and this one will be gone.

Another season comes to a close. This is Kingsbrae Garden’s final day for this season. Of course, we’ll be getting ready for the big Christmas celebration (see this page on our website if you don’t know about it), but we’re all kind of sad to see the steady stream of visitors disappear.
This blog will go to a Photo of the Week format starting on Monday October 13. Join us here each Monday for a new and somewhat different form of the Kingsbrae experience. I’ll say no more for now, so come along and find out what it’s all about.
The Visitors Centre staff may be planning to enter a “giant pumpkin” contest. We’re not sure. But they do make a nice decorative touch, don’t they?
Here is the reverse view from yesterday’s picture. The vanes of the windmill peek above the sumacs. Do you see the heron standing on the island, looking across at us?
