These are pics found on a hunt for Garden Journal inspirations, over at dear flickr.
Something about each of the pics appeals to me, and I am warming up to getting on with creating my very own Lovely Garden Journal. The on-paper version, which will likely be translated to onscreen version somewhere along the way too.

My big thanks to the generous gardening artists at flickr.
Click pic for larger version of the mosaic, and click the links to go to each pic,
and to the sets and pools thereafter.

While sleuthing, I found a link, via this pic, to this good page of Garden Journal-ness.

I'll look again at my copy of Mixed Media Nature Journals.

And I'll have another peep at my ole fave, Derek Jarman's Garden.
I love that book. It helped me dream well of having a Proper Garden, when I had only tubs of trees and pots of plants braving central London with me.
And now we all breathe easier here on the UrbanRural fringe of Norwich, I feel a little celebratory artistry coming on through...

Today a big golden DragonFly visited and stayed for Quite Some Time.

transient pleasures, and studio g

I haven't seen or heard this little cutey in a few days.

I did see an Enormous Toad, for a few minutes, till it pottered off under the fence. I was thrilled to see it, sad to see it go. "Come back and eat the slugs!" I pleaded; to no avail...

And these three Beauties are on their way back now to whence they came:

I learn about Transience in My Lovely Garden.
Nothing stays the same for very long overhere.
Beauty comes, Beauty goes.
I learn to appreciate what's here; juss passing thru, like us all.

And while we are here:

studio G is a current favourite exploration zone, where I've found many a treasure and excellent signpost.
Be prepared to spend A While enjoying the various gem-laden departments you'll find overthere...
