I’ve recently added a new photograph – April Showers – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/april-showers/
While photographing at Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia in April, I spotted this wonderful sculpture of two young children under an umbrella. And then I spotted all the wonderful pink dogwood blossoms behind them. So instead of avoiding a rain shower, I imagined the children were deciding to close their umbrella and head out into a shower of falling dogwood blossoms.
This photograph is available matted to 14 X 11 and 20 X 16

Last fall I spent several wonderful hours wandering in the woods and photographing at the North Carolina Arboretum outside of Asheville. I’d visited the arboretum several times before, but always in the spring or summer. So this was my first chance to see all the wonderful colors of fall there. It was well worth visiting – I had a wonderful time and got some great photos. Here are some of my photos of Fall Color at the North Carolina Arboreatum.

Graveyard Angel with Rose Metarie Cemetery New Orleans Palladium Toned Kallitype © 2019 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new palladium-toned kallitype – Graveyard Angel with Rose Metarie Cemetery New Orleans Palladium Toned Kallitype to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/graveyardangelwithrose/
A beautiful kneeling angel holding a rose at Metarie Cemetery in New Orleans, Louisiana
This photograph is printed using the late 19th-century photographing printing process known as Kallityping. The emulsion is hand-painted onto the paper, exposed with a negative under bright lights, and toned with palladium. Each print from a negative is slightly different – so these are one of a kind images.
The photographs are printed on 8 X 10″ Bergger 100% Cotton Cot 320 paper. They are matted to 11 X 14″ in a white acid-free mat.
These one-of-a-kind kallitypes are available for $ 49.00

Last month while I was in Rochester, NY for a workshop, I spent a wonderful morning photographing at Mount Hope Cemetery. Founded in 1838, Mount Hope is a beautiful garden/rural cemetery full of wonderful statuary and stone carving. I thought I’d share some of my photos from Mount Hope Cemetery with you today.

I’d love to spend more time photographing at Mount Hope Cemetery. My guess is in spring, summer or fall, the foliage will give the cemetery a completely different look. And hopefully, if there isn’t snow on the ground, I’ll be able to photograph Frederick Douglas’s grave!

I’ve had a few questions about some of the gardens we’ll be visiting during my Photographing the Gardens of Philadelphia workshop in May so I thought I’d share a bit about some of them.
Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania is one of the premier botanical gardens in the United States. Located on the former estate of Pierre S. du Pont, Longwood Gardens opened to the public after du Pont’s death in 1954. Currently the estate covers over 1076 acres – with woods, meadows, formal gardens, trial gardens and a four-acre conservatory. There is always something wonderful to photo at Longwood Gardens. If we’re lucky, the tulips will still be on display when we visit during the workshop
Here are a few of the photos I’ve taken at Longwood in May.
Fantasy Tulips
Trillium Grandiflorum
El Nino Tulips
Champagne Poppies
Antoinette Tulips
Bleeding Hearts
Angelique Tulips
McKenna Group Columbine
Longwood Gardens is just one of the gardens we’ll visit during my Photographing the Gardens of Philadelphia Workshop in May. For more information about the workshop, visit https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/photographing-the-gardens-of-philadelphia-may-2019/
I’d love to have you join me for a week of photographing some of the beautiful gardens in the Philadelphia area.
