A few weeks ago I spoke at the Laguna Beach Garden Club, and was thrilled when my host insisted we walk along the coastline before catching my flight home. The aloes were in full bloom, the sun was shining, artists were painting, hummers were humming, dolphins were swimming – in short, I was in heaven. [...]

Having spent a delightful morning touring the San Diego Botanical Garden last week, I must admit I was most smitten by these life-size topiaries.  Pat Hammer, Director of Operations of the Botanical Garden, created these incredible works of art, going so far as making clay masks of some of the members of the garden and [...]

by Rebecca Sweet

As usual, this is ‘almost’ a Wordless Wednesday post. A few weeks ago, while vacationing in Connecticut, we drove past this giant snapping turtle bravely crossing the road. Being from California, and never seeing one in person, we pulled over so I could play tourist and take a photo.

Ecstasy – Wordless Wednesday

by Rebecca Sweet

While spending the day in San Francisco I stumbled upon this statue of a massive, towering woman titled Ecstasy, by Karen Cusolito and Dan Das Mann. Her body is so graceful, lithe and perfectly proportioned while being constructed of repurposed pieces of chunky, rusty metal. I know it’s a little atypical of my posts, but I [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Felder Rushing

by Rebecca Sweet

/ While in Dallas last week, I had the honor of listening to a presentation by Felder Rushing, which wasn’t really a presentation at all, but rather an opportunity to listen to this man’s passion about ‘Slow Gardening‘.  If you ever have the opportunity to hear him speak, seize it with both hands – run [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Lupine Meadow at Lake Tahoe

by Rebecca Sweet

I can never seem to manage a truly ‘wordless’ Wednesday post, so I’ll try again to be brief. I took these photos last week while vacationing in Lake Tahoe.  This naturally occurring meadow was just a few miles from Tahoe City, and the Lupines and yellow Monkeyflowers were at their peak. I was counting my [...]
