Flights of Fancy by William Daugherty
It just amazes me how many local people submit such stunning arrangements each year at the fair. Apologies for the less-than-stellar photos in some cases. Conditions were challenging. I tried to capture every entry but I may have missed some and I didn’t always get perfect shots. Still, there’s an awful lot of gorgeous here.

This delightful group of folks came to Hank’s magical gardens today, many for the first time. There are 45 images in this gallery because I just couldn’t cut any more!

To see drone shots from 7/2/26:
OK, this is a little different. I went to visit Jim yesterday and before I knew it, we were filming a full-blown tour of his extensive gardens. My intention was to try out some gimbal footage but once he got going, there was no stopping him! This video is nearly 47 minutes long and includes subsequent interview footage, but if you are like me, it’s hard to stop watching!
UPDATE: the first link is to the shorter “highlight reel”, which is about 13 minutes. The second link (see below) is the original 47-minute video.

This is Hank’s second year holding this event on July 4th that is open to the public. My last photos were more of a macro view whereas these focus on the micro. I could look at these all day. Actually, I have been! 😉

I had to go back with a different lens and enjoy more of these incredible arrangements hosted by the Cornish Garden Club. So pretty!
Today I went back to Jim’s amazing gardens. This time it was to capture the latest seasonal arrival: his incredible array of Day Lilies.
If you’ve never been, he is having a final open house on 7/27/25.

Laura, Adaline and I spent about four hours enjoying the flowers and animals at the zoo. It’s an amazing place!
Much thanks to Margaret Perry who has given me more gifts that I could possibly recount, not least of them being a deep love and respect for all living things.
