Description

Gardens are most loved when they are neatly weeded and flowers are in full bloom! Summer in Ohio is filled with colorful days under a hot sun, with birds chirping and visiting feeders and baths. Butterflies float here and there. Time seems to stand still. I am, however, the one tasked to maintain some order in this backyard, and so after enjoying the beauty for a while, I am drawn back to endless chores needing to be done.

Gardeners know the horrible sounding job of deadheading; cutting off spent flowers before they go to seed to encourage the plant to produce more blooms. Fresh colorful blooms are the goal. But for me, this task can take forever, because I see beauty in the old, in the spent, in the history of just days ago already 'worthless' and bound for the compost. Sometimes I can ignore pausing and get on with the work at hand . . . but other times, I find myself running in to grab my camera and try to capture something that I see hidden in that old flower. I see the end of one life here, but also the beginning hundreds of new ones with just a gentle gust of wind; the possibility and promise of how this wonderful world has been designed and created. We are so blessed to be on this earth!

Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.

I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
