St. Benedict's Gardens
The St. Maximos group meets at St. Benedict's Roman Catholic in the rectory. But we rarely see how beautiful the place is since we usually arrive after it is dark and we enter through the back.
On Tuesday 19 June I was supposed to be at St. Benedict's in time to leave for Orientale Lumen NLT 8:30. I was there 7:45. I had plenty of time to walk around the property and see all the beautiful flowers and to take photographs. Since I'm shooting digital and hae a Nikon dSLR, I was not worried about running out of film, space, nor batteries.
I have a two-gigabyte card in my camera. Before I take the first picture, my camera tells me that I hae 568 pictures left and this is at high quality. For my flash I need four AA batteries, but I have about 20 recharageable batteries and I carry a 15-minute charger with me most of the time. I rarely need it.
Plus the battery in the Nikon lasts a very long time. I usually have a second battery, but it is rare when I need to use it.In three days of shooting, I rarely turned off the camera and flash and I did not have to change batteries. In fact, I did not charge the batteries in the flash, not even over night. I did charge the camera's battery over night once. If I were using my Canon Rebel, it would had been necessary for me to change batteries every day. And it probably would had been necessary to change the batteries in the flash at least once a day.
Fr. Paschal obviously takes pride in his plants. He told me about the different plants. Most of it went over my head. Please enjoy the photograhs.
