The Gardener

On Saturday we stopped by the Smeltzer House Grounds in Sherwood Park. The grounds are home to the Smeltzer House which was a farmhouse built in 1920 and today serves as a Visual Arts Centre. On the grounds along with the house are two garages that serve as studios and also a lovely garden area. I had the chance to talk with this man who is the grounds keeper and he was busy watering some lovely flowers in a planter

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I think that would be a very fulfilling job for a person who loves flowers! Nice shot!

[Candace]

Watering my flowers is very relaxing!!

[Richard Hickey]

Fantastic picture.

[Tony]

Wonderful capture and brilliant idea for that planter.

[Helge Erik Storheim]

At first I thought he was about to fire a very old canon ;-) Nice shot

[jennifer]

I too thought it was an old cannon but taking a second look realised there are glowers there.
