Yes, July 8 2013 was a great day to be on the bike and photographing. After Morey's Pier, I stopped at the Hereford Lighthouse & Gardens, one of my favorite spots "down the shore".
It's great to have such a nice garden along my rides, and every couple of weeks what's in bloom changes and so does the look of the garden.
Well today was just a spectacular day. It was nice I got to speak with one of the garden caretakers and compliment her and her staff on how beautiful the gardens are on each visit.
Someday I'm going to have to stop with my Canon 7D, closeup lens and tripod because, as usual on my bike rides, my cycling photos are taken with my Canon G11, one great point-and-shoot camera!

Beautiful hydrangea blooms.

Lots of daises.
Layers of flowers in the beds.
Lots of rain made for a luscious garden display.

A "wall" of hydrangea.
On the ocean side of the gardens are two lifeboats surrounded by flowers.
