St-Denis Woods 12-004 Imaginings from what is perceived: This is a natural, sort-of, space between properties at my sister's house.

Fall 08-008 Imaginings from what is perceived: Even the parasitic vines that climb and intertwine with the mighty maples decide to join in the game for attention from the viewer. Here they have upped the ante with a display of dangerously luminous berries. Ripe and juicy to look at, but dubiously edible. I saw no … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #353 – Fall 08-008

Qcpg 13-019 Imaginings from what is perceived: I can only identify the echinacea here, but there are two other blue-purple flowers. The designers planned the garden with many similar combinations and occasionally we could see a contrasting white to yellow bloom, always on a bed of the lushest greens. It was a beautiful garden and … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #350 – Qcpg 13-019

Qcpg 13-015 Imaginings from what is perceived: Squash flowers are just strange. They are not quite plump like a succulent’s leaves, but there’s more water in them than regular petals. They also seem crustacean in some off way. Maybe it’s the claw-like way the petals grow forward, before opening fully and filing off. Then the … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #348 – Qcpg 13-015

A Friend from Next Door Imaginings from what is perceived: This remarkable blue flower is a clematis. It grew through the fence from my neighbor's yard. At the time, he didn't even know he had the plant and we guessed it was decades old from what the previous owners of both our houses told us. … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #346 – A Friend from Next Door
