Reluctant Eden

Black and White Wednesday
linking with Adrienne at My Memory Art

I had hoped to release the identities of my statues 
from last week today. Thanks for all of your fascinating guesses too.

But life and the lack of sunshine ruined my trip downtown to shoot pictures. 

So I hope you enjoy the beginnings 
of my own little Eden assembled under
 the guidance of my fairies and gnomes.

Just one of many plants waiting to be put outside.

Light shows shadow, but truth shows mysteries.

"And winter slumbering in the open air-

Wears on her smiling face a dream of Spring."

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I thought 

the winds of March

would bring true spring.

Still, there's a certain picturesque quality within my gardens.  As if a subtle mystery of what is yet to come, toys with my senses with a hopeful wonder of which, my camera will soon share.

Tiny little fairies relax the tenseness of our minds.

Perhaps it's the gardens of our childhood that bring us back here, year after year?

Life is short, just ask any butterfly.
