Installation Art

Nestled in a corner half way up a gentle hill lies

a secret garden hidden behind a weathered, slatted wooden fence.

Flashing fuschia ,millers dust, deep royal purple lobelia and giant Iris still in bud radiate

contentedly side by side , leaf to leaf-blossom to blossom , bud to bud

A wall of blue cobbles hand picked along the front beach for their elongated shape

and toy-train size

form a circle of protection and division from the other gardens.

Today the sun warms the rich soil , coaxing the blossoms to open,

allowing a flirting Monarch butterfly to

crazily plant kisses deep within their centers.

The sweet breeze, bored with bouncing the anchored boats in the harbor

now runs up the hill, into the

garden, forcing the flowers to shake their heads and start dancing.

Great love assembled blue rocks and planted flowers:

A Greater love for a lost child gave it life

It is not Valentine's Day!

I am on the roadside trying to stealthily snap a few shots of my Christmas lights when the mood is interrupted by flashing blues.  “I hope you aren’t using the phone and it isn’t Valentine’s Day anyway.”

Thanks Shirls!!




Shirley started by filling her nice car with dirt, roots, pots, plants, flowers, seeds, tools, food and a hummingbird feeder. Her arrival was quite a site. Determined to get me back into the swing of spring she directed our four hour effort and then it was up to me.She made a second trip with more colorful things. Then other friends donated living treasures. I have always been a collector of rocks but I like doing things with them. Otherwise they get a little restless. I love the numbers idea!

A lot of rocks goes a little ways!
