Go there once, it’s amazing. Go there twice, it’s repetitive. I’m not complaining, because this private estate is still beautiful. Maple Rock Gardens is in Newcastle, and is affiliated with High Hand Nursery in Loomis California.
They are open for private events and to the public twice a year. Linda and I visited them last September and you can view that post here. She thought there would be more flower blooms in the spring, so expectations were high. It was definitely more crowded and the blooms were repetitive. Not much had changed. If you were there for the first time, it would not disappoint. It was still beautiful. Take a look.

Thank you Rupali. It is a beautiful place and they host private functions. We are lucky that they open to the public twice a year.

Beautiful photos, Anne! And so much color!! When I repeat places and I know it’s going to be difficult to not make the same photo as before, I just change lenses! I just carry a different one, so the way I photograph the place changes!

Thank you Mercedes! What a great idea. Never thought of that. Typically I just set a different intention, maybe to shoot just one type of thing. Next time I’ll change lenses and see what happens!
