Deep Cut Gardens

CraftyChica

Last summer, my friend (who is also into photography) asked me to accompany her to a park in New Jersey called “Deep Cut Gardens” to take some photos. At first, I was a little hesitant to go because I didn’t think that I could get any great photos.

When I think of parks, I think of little kids running around screaming, a germ infested playground, a sandbox filled with children, gossiping mothers,miserable babysitters, proud parents, soccer moms, soccer games, ice-cream trucks and ice cream wrappers etc. etc. Oh, and lets not forget that this was in the middle of August and it was nearly 93 degrees outside. So, this was not very tempting at the time!

Then I thought, heck, why not, I could add some photos of families to the good ole portfolio. When we arrived there, I was in awe. It was not like any other typical park, nor was it like any other park that I had ever been to previously.

This park was amazingly beautiful. I mean STUNNING! If you ever have a chance to visit NJ, you must visit Deep Cut Gardens. It is 54 acres of beautiful trees, flowers and green houses. A photographer’s dream! I could not stop snapping photos!

I have attached the link, so check out the photos on the website. I am also attaching two photos of mine that I had taken when I was there.

Enjoy! I hope you embark on the journey to Deep Cut Gardens! It is absolutely gorgeous!

I am a 36 year old with a bad case of Attention Deficit Order which significantly impacts every aspect of my life, however, I never give up and try to embrace it the best that I can. Piles, messy rooms, disorganization, unpaid bills, poor working memory, forgetfulness, poor time management have become a part of my life. ADD is both a blessing and a curse in my eyes. There are days when I hate it, while on other days I am thankful for it. I have been labeled as organized chaos multiple times and a mess. I have been told to "breathe" and "calm down" so much that I have come to terms with it. If it was not for my 6 years old and husband, I would never be able to find my keys and debit card! I am very personable, intelligent, creative, friendly, and caring yet I cannot keep a teaching job for my life. 9 years and 3 teaching jobs later, I have decided that ADD and teaching just DO NOT mix!!! I hope this blog helps anyone who struggles with ADD, finds my blog relatable. Remember you are not alone... ADD is real and DO NOT let anyone tell you otherwise!! God bless!! “She was elusive. She was today. She was tomorrow. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds, we tried to pin her to a corkboard like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew.” ― Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl
