Yes
That's the question
I'm being a bit Shakespearian this evening
I found the perfect house, it might need some decorating and cleaning up tho, but that's ok
Sometimes I really think that hibernating must be pretty nice
You set your life on hold
You can pause a bit
Think and Dwell
Check if this addiction is ruling your life
But
Perhaps thinking isn't always the answer
Sometimes it gets all messed up if you think too much
Sometimes you are supposed to just float along
But
It surely isn't always easy
All these thoughts
You are worried
You are left out
You are too far away
You can't do so much about anything
But you care
I guess
You just need the time to go
Or
Letting him go
Either the addiction goes away or not
God knows
I don't
This small garden was displayed at the Denver Botanical Gardens as an example of a "Steppe Garden. Steppe regions of the world often have harsh conditions, with extreme temperature changes, and rocky mineral-rich soils. They are often semi-arid in the rain shadow of mountains. This garden was planted to show examples of flowering plants that grow in the steppes.

Bleeding Hearts blossoms grace a trail's edge in this image captured a few years ago at Chicago Botanic Garden.
Flickr friends, things have gotten busy in my life at the moment, so I'll be off and on here a bit more than usual for a while as I work to get things buttoned down.

Film; standard Ilford B&W (forgot which one).
No edit straight out of the camera.
I envy my Flickr friends who can render such poetics from their gardens. My garden / flower photos all look like they are from a Burpee seed catalog.
I think I have to give credit to my camera for this shot.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Longing Melody - Where to belong
Sometimes all we need is the sound of the waves, the song of birds, the scent of the sea salt mixing with spring bloom and a wind to stoke out cheeks lovingly. Just (be)longing.

Special thanks to my love Joy♪

UBC Botanical Garden, at the University of British Columbia, was established in 1916 under the directorship of John Davidson, British Columbia's first provincial botanist. It is the oldest botanical garden at a university in Canada.
Shooting through two home made filters ( a sheet of screening and a piece of thick plate glass from a cocktail table, allowing the light to run across it) and some post processing to emulate a salt paper calotype of the 1840's.
I am quite enamored by the photography of the nineteenth century. The photographers brought an unpretentious sense of poetics to their work.

A high-class 'back garden' at Hodges Barn manor: this is what the owners see from the back of the house: steps with a small statue of a lion, flowers, a lawn, topiary (the bush cut in a special shape) and trees.

In the small town of Condette, northern-most France, you can find a charming little Tudor revival castle, built in the middle of the 19th century by the Englishman Sir John Hare. The castle rests on foundations much older than that, though. A castle was first built here in the 12th century, and the direct predecessor to the one now standing dated to 1222-1231, built by Philippe Hurepel de Clermont, son of the French king Philippe II Auguste. That castle was destroyed by Marie de Medici in 1615 in the religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants at the time. The place was left in ruins - but some of the defense walls survived, and this new castle were built incorporating those remains.
And now they have designed a garden at the back of the castle inspired by real, historical Tudor gardens.
