Among the Flowers

06 August, 2012




They day after the trip I went to the botanical garden to finish off the film roll I started so I could have it developed. A month earlier would probably be a better time to see what this garden really has to offer, but I found it to be a tranquilizing antidote to the work that I do anyway. I can't help myself but wondering how the life of a gardener must be. I love the nature of the work, mostly being outside, in stead of the paperwork most of us do on our computers all day. What a joy it must be to see supervise growth. Gardeners must love what they do. How can you not, when you see how your effort slowly materializes into living things that spark the curiosity of others.

  2. Lovely photos! How amazing would it be to work as a gar gardener? Or any job that keeps you outside amongst greenery all day. What an amazing life that would be.
