A Quiet Strength: April 2012
http://betweenhisshoulders.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2012. Pondering a lesson from the dandelion. This especially spoke to my heart today. The Bible tells us to . Cast all your care upon Him because He cares for you." - I Peter 5:7. Therefore; do not cast away you confidence, which has great reward." - Hebrews 10:35. We do not want to reverse the process:. Casting away our confidence and carrying all our care! His desire is that we roll all our burden on Him and not be anxious about anything . He gives us that choice! Normally, our landlo...

Gardening Through a Lens : September 2014
http://www.gardeningthroughalens.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts about photographing plants. And planting to photograph. Sunday, September 7, 2014. Cataract Surgery: It's REALLY BRIGHT out there! I had no idea I had cataracts until about 2 years ago when my optometrist informed me that they were starting to show up. Since, for most people, cataracts grow slowly, he told me I'd have nothing to worry about for several years. However, I am not most people, and mine responded like Creeping Buttercup on MiracleGro. My surgeries were done in July. What I've done he...

Thoughts about photographing plants. And planting to photograph. Thursday, November 7, 2013. And they're beautiful in their delicacy, the way the light breaks across the drops of water caught on the strands and splits into colors, the way strings of those drops drape like ropes of pearls: Nature's Flapper necklace. I think this might have been a red-flowering currant ( Ribes sanguineum. If I'd never seen this plant before, what would I look at first? Would it be the damage, the web? But I will see how it...

http://www.gardeningthroughalens.com/2015/06/benched-rethinking-gardens-photography.html
Thoughts about photographing plants. And planting to photograph. Thursday, June 25, 2015. Benched: Rethinking Gardens, Photography, and Blogging. Bodnant Garden, North Wales. Garden Path at Snowshill Manor in The Cotswolds. While I learned a lot and improved a lot, I found myself taking way too many shots of gravel, tree bark, doors, and hands planting flowers with lots of space to the left or right. I also spent too much time staring at noise, pixels, and things I had no names for and couldn't see a...

http://www.gardeningthroughalens.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Thoughts about photographing plants. And planting to photograph. Friday, June 7, 2013. The Significance of the Insignificant Flower: or,. As I've written several times before (see "My Macro Lens and Me". I AM working on this, but, for now, it's back to my macro lens. And what shows that off better than teensy, tiny flowers that look like points of light or nothing at all in a landscape photo? For instance, Siberian Miner's Lettuce makes a lovely ground cover for part-shade,. But THIS year was different!

Thoughts about photographing plants. And planting to photograph. Wednesday, March 19, 2014. Winter Flowering: Pink Dawn Viburnum. My three Pink Dawn Viburnums ( Viburnum x bodnantense. Pink Dawn') started to bud on December 24, 2013, but didn't get around to letting a flower peak through until mid-February. I figured I'd write a blog about them as soon as I had a range of photos, but what to write? Etc Fine, all fine, but why post photos and info when the info was everywhere? Yeah Well. I love those ...

Gardening Through a Lens : August 2013
http://www.gardeningthroughalens.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts about photographing plants. And planting to photograph. Monday, August 5, 2013. However, it turns out there are more advantages than just giving a tongue-tied person something socially acceptable to do. As I've said too many times here before, I'm lousy at landscapes. Yet it appears that when I'm driven to take a wider view of an unfamiliar place, and when that wider view is as beautiful as the one in this particular garden, I'm not as bad as I'd thought. Other people's gardens can inspire the p...

Gardening Through a Lens : Unexpected Garden Glamour: Runway Monardas
http://www.gardeningthroughalens.com/2015/07/unexpected-garden-glamour-runway.html
Thoughts about photographing plants. And planting to photograph. Thursday, July 23, 2015. Unexpected Garden Glamour: Runway Monardas. It never occurred to me that the feathery, bee-laden Monardas happily populating the sunnier patches of my landscape were the stuff of Haute Horticouture. O common. Too artless. Too friendly. However, all this flash and attitude has its limits. I was beginning to ache for a quieter, more subtle expression. And, on the other side of my propane tank, I found the soft...These...
