- Last week I walked through the shade garden at New York's 
Battery Bosque Gardens.  It was an amazing collection of perennials that thrive in the shade.  This is one of the interesting buds I photographed.  Canon G11, 1/250 sec @ f/3.5, ISO 400.  I wish I had closed down the aperture another stop so the depth of field was a little longer.  Then the stem would have been in sharp focus.  Could've, would've, should've.
