Microscopic World on the Floating Leaf in Early Spring at Leonard J. Buck Garden of Far Hills New Jersey
While standing on one of the bridges and looking down into the pond for anything interesting, however, tiny, this single encrusted leaf came floating by so slowly from one side, as if it were a vessel with a world of microscopic organisms on a cruise. Instantly, my attention went straight to it, for it almost seemed to have deliberate movement. But, as a photo enthusiast, I knew that it would make a very fascinating shot if composed right . . .
It was certainly nice to get over to Buck Garden early in the spring season, for signs of new arrivals, both in the wildlife and plant world. The floral landscape should be quite beautiful in a few weeks, as the horticulturists and gardeners passionately add these colorful accents in a natural fashion throughout the garden. The first spring visit was very rewarding with some interesting discoveries.
Situated in Far Hills in Somerset County of New Jersey, this hidden gem, nestled amongst hills and brooks, is like the proverbial Garden of Eden. Incorporating the natural landscape and creating a truly enchanting garden around it makes this place a MUST VISIT for anyone with a sense of appreciation for nature in a quiet way. Nothing pretentious, but so much can be seen and learned from each outing. The bucolic setting will put your heart and soul at ease, and quickly remove the stress of everyday life—at least, while you are there.
The vast collection of trees and plants is incredible, and the landscape architecture is attended to with such deep passion and care. Wildlife, such as birds, insects, amphibians and reptiles can be seen regularly during the warmer seasons, and the pure air of life emanates throughout. The brooks and ponds are rich with activity and you don’t need to enjoy photography to appreciate the many wonders.
