Market Friday

This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.A post for Market Friday hosted by @dswigle, if you haven't followed her yet you should she is one of the kindest and most supportive people here on Hive, a comment from her is like a ray of sunshine on your page.

For this weeks post, I am sharing a few shots of a visit to the Allen C Haskell Gardens here in New Bedford
A little bit about the gardens
The late Allen C. Haskell, a lifelong New Bedford resident and famed horticulturist, assembled these six acres—the site of a traditional New England-style common, beautiful historic gardens, and one of the oldest homes in the city—over more than 30 years. Today, it’s a public park and unlikely botanical respite, blooming in the heart of New Bedford.

Now you may be wondering if it is a public gardens how is this a Market Friday post, well in spring they do sell flowers, and its open to buy them at the moment, so it is indeed a market and a very beautiful one especially at this time of the year.

Let me start with perhaps the coolest or if not one of the most colorful parts of this place the multicolor greenhouse

For this shot i used my 11mm Lens which is super wide angle or fisheye and needed to be able to get this hole scene

And this is the Entrance I took walking into the gardens, you can see they have a couple of Magnolia trees looking so pretty at this time of year, I did take more shots of them but will get to those in another post ;)

from the Entrance I walked in you quickly get to walk past the Row of greenhouses, this is the opposite end of them as compared to the first photo I shared

and the empty green house again I was kind of focused on looking at the details of the gears and chains for opening the windows of the greenhouse

And of course since the market side of this post is that they sell flowers and as she @dswigle likes to say always a flower, I did take plenty of shots of the magnolias and flowers and will share them in a post sometime, but i had to add at least one flower shot to this post ;)
