Winter in a Walled Garden sunny both graceful and plaintive on

both graceful and plaintive on a moody day at Carmel Bay beach in California

I find the curves both superbly elegant and a little voluptuous

Mesmerising

emptiness is beautiful

On a still summer’s morning the early morning sun slants down through this young meadow and invites you to wander down the grassy pathway

Winter in a Walled Garden sunny both graceful and plaintive onThe natural world sleeps in its cycle of growth, dormancy and renewal. A living wall is rendered skeletal with twigs and branches, the leaves of the hornbeam remain until pushed away by new shoots in spring. Just one pop of silver lightens this misty day in the form of evergreen Artemisa. Pause. Let yourself be for a moment, in the silence.
