Labor of love on Labor Day

Steve Tomkins' beautiful garden is coming to an end. The dahlias are on their last blooms. What beautiful flowers. Every year I capture the blooms of his garden for him and make a book of all the wonderful works that he has planted and nurtured. This one for sure will be included.
