As I meander through MY garden here on this miniscule bit of planet, I am influenced by all these wonderful exotic images and seem to see my garden in a different way...all of a sudden when I peek behind a plant to pull a week I feel as if I am being kept company by some spirit there and the plants in my garden have taken on new beauty. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.
