8230;it's a beautiful world out there. A talking bird, a giant bunny, and recovering gardens. June 3, 2015. Bull; 48 Comments. Eighteen months ago my back garden was an utter dust bath! What a difference 18 months and a lot of hard work has made! I must say I’m thrilled to see how it’s developing. Now that I’ve FINALLY removed all of the horrible hedging in the front garden, alongside of the railings, I feel the same as I did when the back was destroyed….another HUGE challenge!

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.

My surgeries were done in July. What I've done he...

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...

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...

Pink Dawn') started to bud on December 24, 2013, but didn't get around to letting a flower peak through until mid-February.
