Last summer, my camera club went on a field trip to Sonnenberg Gardens near Canandaigua, New York.  The day turned out to be one of the hottest of that summer, with temperatures in the 90’s (F).  Regardless, we enjoyed the experience, took many photos, and had a wonderful day.  I hope you enjoy your “tour” of this lovely place.

 I saved the prettiest rose for last!  The gardens have many more flowers, especially roses, but the day was too hot to go into very many of the garden areas.  Perhaps another trip is in the offing!
