(Good morning, my blog is the engine behind all that you see and read and all the good we do. If you find it stimulating, entertaining, thoughtful, or worthwhile, please consider supporting it. Thanks.)

My garden is a morning miracle; it is constantly changing, and the colors are deep, rich, and warm. I have three cameras trained in this garden, my Leica Monochrome, my Leica Q2, and my Iphone 13.

I am never disappointed. I’m experimenting and angles and trying to see how I can integrate  the flowers and colors with the rest of the farm, as in below.

I’m surprised at the impact my garden has had on me. There is an element of creativity, nurturing, and of great and breathtaking beauty. It is very good for me, and I am obviously not alone.

I’m dense sometimes. I guess there are some things you just have to do to understand.

This is the season of color and light, and I’m not wasting a day of it.

Maria and I are both planning on something of a retreat for us here on the farm.

 

Lulu and the poppy. I liked mixing lulu and poppy with the gardens. It puts everything in context.

Three poppies in a row. The Leica 2 captured the soft feeling of the three of them, back to back.

 

A new yellow Zinnia. It’s exciting to see these plants, from seed and bubble to beautiful flowers, in weeks.

A young begonia popped up. I just planted four more; these are the most beautiful flowers in my garden so far.

 

A Yellow Nasturtium. Nasturtiums don’t live long and are frail. But while they are here, they are so beautiful to look at.

 

My New Garden Beds

I put these new flowers – rescued from a garden shop – in with the Nasturtiums. I have a wildflower bed and a primrose bed yet to flower.
