Up Close ‘n Personal

Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas
- Elizabeth Murray

Springtime at Crater Lake

There is no season such delight can bring
As summer, autumn, winter and the spring.
- William Browne

Creative Spirit

When we are writing, or painting, or composing, we are, during the time of creativity,
freed from normal restrictions, and are opened to a wider world, where colors are brighter,
sounds clearer, and people more wondrously complex than we normally realize.
- Madeleine L’Engle
