I made these pictures at Harkness Memorial Park in New London, Connecticut, with my daughter a few weeks ago. It was a mild day in early autumn, and we came to the beautiful gardens there from behind a building that wasn't the mansion. As we walked, I had the feeling of someone who had crept in the back gate, and I found myself admiring the flowers from behind. As I took pictures, I felt I was tapping them on the shoulder. It was a quiet, personal, afternoon on the Sound. Beyond, "My battery is dead, mom," and "Use my other camera," my daughter and I spoke very little there. It was too beautiful.
