Landscape painting
... an hour ago, I wandered out to the garden to take a few photos... I take a lot of photos of my garden. However, it feels like I need to lately.
I will be in Ireland before the week is out and I hear the weather is dismal...
...when I was there in July, the weather was perfect...
...so it seems natural that I should return to see the "Real Ireland".
However, right now, my garden has a spectacular array of flowers.
It seems I might miss a little bit of the Spring display this year while I am off traveling again...
...even when I return to Australia, I have to go to Melbourne for a week for a course.
...so I might be relying on photographs this year to remind me how spectacular the colours and scents are at this time of year.
“A garden should make you feel you've entered privileged space -- a place not just set apart but reverberant -- and it seems to me that, to achieve this, the gardener must put some kind of twist on the existing landscape, turn its prose into something nearer poetry.”
? Michael Pollan, Second Nature: A Gardener's Education
...there is always next year to stop and smell the roses.

I was in Cork for two weeks. In fact I just returned in the last few days, I would have happily had coffee with you.
