essay: The sea, turnstones, too-tight shoes and the best roasted pears (Mark Diacono/Garden To Table). “I need the sea. I need the edge. I need long views full of light. And I think – most of all – I need the sea’s permanent movement. … Whether at the estuary, many metres above it, or on the stones between tides, the sea settles me.” Yes.
photo essay: Autumn Test Flight (James Golden/VIEW FROM FEDERAL TWIST). Drone shots of a garden in Fall: “I’m fascinated by the patterned textures and colors, and aspects of the garden not visible from the ground. For example, you can see most of its structure at a glance.”
short video: An Epic Tiny Hamster’s Thanksgiving Feast With A Tiny Friend (TinyHamsterOfficial/YouTube). About 1-1/2 minutes. Fuzzy bunny, two hamsters, one rat.
photo essay: Foggy November mornings are great for assessing textures in plantings (Jared Barnes/Meristem). I’m a sucker for photos in fog and mist. “A trick I learned years ago to determine if a planting had good structure and texture was to make color images black and white. And with the fog enhancing the contrast, I did just that with these images.”
