An Image and Its Story - April 2019

There weren't too many photos in April. I mainly took photos in my garden for the "100 day project" that I'm doing on Instagram. Apart from that my camera wasn't put to work very much. But when I looked through those garden photos to find the photo for the month of April I quickly decided on this one. I gave it a bit of an "older" feel but that was pretty much all the processing I did.


My garden has a lot of plants and flowers, but I also love to put decorative elements in it. These angels were bought several years apart form each other and I think they make a great pair. The small wooden bench I found in a thrift store - the perfect place for the chubby angels to lounge. They're sitting at the base of a Japanese maple and are surrounded by peonies, Japanese anemones and heuchera. This is a corner in my garden that gets morning light but then slowly shade takes over. It's a bit mysterious with lush foliage and stunning blooms. This is exactly the mood I wanted to create. It took a few years to get there and it's still a work in progress. A garden always is.

Gee, I can look in the mirror and that's all I need to do to get that "older feel!

They do indeed look very happy there.
And yes, a garden IS a work in progress. Always.

It's nice to have art in the garden. I love how these look old and garden worn.

I always love your picture and story posts and I really do love this image a lot. It reminds me a bit of my beloved Southern Exposure!

This is the most charming picture, Carola. I love everything about it. The Angels are precious, and Yes, they go nicely together. And the bench is a good find for your garden. So cute with the carved heart. Enjoy your garden, especially this Spring and Summer, when all things bloom. : )

Wising you wonderful May days.
