The Elements of Paradise



Man's first occupation was gardening


though I'm not sure Adam was very good at it. However, he was jolly sorry
 when he got chucked out of it: see Masaccio's pic in the Brancacci Chapel. But I digress.....


Wisley in June on a lovely sunny day when the dogwood was splendid.


Water everywhere......dripping....


bearing lilies


being gazed into.....


or sat beside.


Throngs mill in the rose garden and seem to circle and circle (think Dante)


Oh!

Surrey Vegetation




The beech trees' delicate leaves...


above a narrow path. We go on a healthy walk in Guildford.


Clematis in a suburban garden.....

and very fancy bark at Wisley...  


...where camellia blossoms form a sort of exotic confetti.
