Avid Gardener

I used to wear gardening gloves all the time when working in my gardens.  I used to hate having dirt embedded in my finger prints & stuck under my nails. 

Over the past few summers, I stopped wear gloves because I wanted to be closer to the earth, I wanted to understand it, feel it anoint it with my green thumb.  The only time not wearing gloves has a draw back is when I get splinters from mulch.  Ouch, I hate splinters!

I have seen similar images to this one on some of my favorite stock sites & just love the concept.

Today, I decided to take the theme into my own hands.  Well at least Sade's hands. I am finding that my kids come in handy (no pun intended) when it comes to setting up certain shots that I want to create as well as assisting me when necessary.

  • this image is beautiful...
    it reminds me of an article that I read at the end of "Elle" magazine with one of the Olsen twins on the cover...the article was an interview with Common the rapper/actor. The interviewer asked him, What is one thing that you regret doing in a relationship? He said, One day Erykah asked me to plant flowers in her garden, looking back, I really didn't want to do that.

    I guess that explains why they aint together...He really didn't want to be apart of her apple tree...All puns intended...

  • There is something about Nature and The Earth that is calming. Everything comes into focus and perspective when you are close to nature.

  • The earth seems to be the one neutral thing that we have in common & we are fucking that up.
