From Shy’s Garden: Zinnias in Bloom

An evening walk through rows of bright zinnias, photographed at the tender edge of golden hour.

Near sunset, the zinnia rows seem to hold light inside their petals. Every color softens, and the garden becomes quiet enough to study one bloom at a time.

These photographs are a record of that brief hour: ruffled edges, weathered leaves, and color still opening after a long Louisiana day.

Photography helps me keep what the season cannot. The flowers will fade, but their beauty has already become part of the story.
