Taft Gardens | Ojai, CA

This is my happy place.  I want to be a gardener here, if I knew how to do such things. Or maybe the night watchman.  It's so quiet accept for the bird tweets, bee hums and the lap of a lazy stream. I'm frustrated each time I visit not by the 'where the wild thing are' scenery but by my inability to really capture it.  Maybe that's just as it should be. Thanks to my mom for always being a willing wanderer and for sharing her love of succulents and desert places. Love you mom.

Here's my Spring 2014 attempt:

These images are currently on exhibit at Photohaus Gallery -  Vancouver, BC.

Artist Statement:

These are scenes of a slower time, featuring activities that involve space for lengthy conversations and time to be alone with your thoughts. In our current technology driven climate our temptation is to abbreviate and do several things at once.  Moments such as these, where we allow time for extended rumination or prolonged moments of being still and single-minded seem to be slipping away.  It is comforting to see that these scenes from 2013 still hold a place in our fabric.
