I tried to explain my garden to my cardiologist.
I wanted to walk him through the affinity of species
on hand-placed stones. I cried about caterpillars.
The seasons meant more to me than a mortality clock.
Entire existences pulsed out and back. I guided life,
mostly watching and weeding, occasional touches.
I wanted him to know what my heart was doing.

One of my top favorites, very cool and love the detail, I want to know what this flower is, it must go in my garden :-) If it survives the coldest of the winters and if it is a perenial :-)

Somebody should call the Sierra Club, alert them to all the wonderful photos in this challenge. It's truly amazing. What a beautiful planet we have to live on. Thanks for posting this shot.

What an interesting place. Here in Florida we have all kinds of boardwalks into the swamps/woods. Always a delight to see other places in the world.

feels like it has a spin to the left in the background but not in the foreground - weird..
