Shine Your Light - a revisted design!

Already it's the beginning of December and we are still having a warm spell here in Southwestern Ontario! It's not all good as we're hoping the ground will freeze up soon so the dogs don't have to play in the mud! Not that they mind at all - We're the ones who mop up after them! Happy pups are usually muddy pups!

So while the dogs are busy taking a nap and it's too muddy to work in the garden I thought I'd play with some images and take some design ideas a little further. The Daisy image below is one I've enjoyed playing with and the theme intrigues me.

The Solstice will be here before we know it and I wanted to play with some artwork that celebrates the return of the light to the Northern Hemisphere. There's something reassuring about celebrating the return of the sun right at the beginning of winter in the northern half of the globe! While it may be getting cold the days will begin to get longer and will usher in the the warmth that will eventually melt all the snow that is sure to come!

Wanted to see how this image would look on-line and hopefully get some reactions from my visitors. I'll be using it to send to friends to remind them of the Solstice. There's so much to celebrate this time of year!

Walk in the garden.blogspot.com; a photo blog

It's our belief the Earth on which we live is truly an Enchanted Garden. Nature has a magical way of creating and sustaining itself, usually with an incredible abundance and variety of expression. This is actually the natural way of the world we live in, despite human attempts to rally against or fight or ignore nature.

A Photo-Blog with a fun and quirky flavor, including some digital artwork, inspirations, experiments and the stories behind them giving some insight into how a couple of happy gardeners view our backyard and our world!
Visiting is just like taking a Walk In The Garden

We planned our landscaping to reflect our appreciation for the natural world and the desire to observe nature up close by making use of native plant varieties, allowing seed bearing plants to stand as feed for wildlife and creating a healthy micro-environment for them. Sometimes even the garden visitors: mainly birds and squirrels leave seeds and bulbs that surprise us later on!

I enjoy sharing some of the magical photographs and images I'm grateful to be able to capture and create. Other fun photos and stories highlighting the rest of our life in the garden will inevitably show up here too. Road trips, camping, fishing, biking, our dogs and our rescue foster pups and their antics, are the likely topics!

Guelph, ON, Canada
I celebrate nature, the natural world and the human spirit immersed within it. My passion is in sharing the simple reminders the garden and nature share with me. Through my photographic adventures I've learned something we humans often overlook; We are a part of Nature, not apart from it! That we are human spirits immersed within this magical, miraculous and beautiful world. Understanding this fundamental truth has been changing my life in lovely ways. I look forward to and welcome further developments this focus provides and hope you might be inspired to reconnect with the natural world around you!
