A Public Service

My gardener (:-)) keeps our front garden rather well and it's a public service – for passersby.  It's a bit of a relief to walk up our street with its narrow pavements and to see this gap between two houses.  Everyone looks up the garden and someone told the gardener today that it was something worth pausing for.  I agree, but I'm no gardener.

I took this with a Laowa 9mm ultrawide lens on my X-E3.  It had to be that lens or the gardener would not have agreed to pose; as it was I could assure her that she would be very small in the frame, hardly visible at all, but she did wear a straw hat for me.
