I love a photo with lots of details that help to tell a story. On this perfect day, a colonial couple strolls down shell-paved walks through the 18th-century kitchen garden. Many aspects of raising food the old way are on display including tender greens under glass cloches and in window-like cold frames. The gardener carries his harvesting basket, listening to M’lady’s instructions. In all, an ideal scene to inform the viewer about gardening in the past.

Do you know of an ideal place to tell a story? Or some ideal objects that inform us about something of interest to you? Or maybe it’s just an ideal day. Include the details, then share it!
