secrets of the garden

Nurseries in New Mexico carry massive numbers of sunny side up and drought-tolerant plants, and rightly so.  They are the ones that have the most success in this land of little rain.  But occasionally, one needs vegetation for the shady areas created by the north side of a house which blocks the sun for certain portions of the day.  In that cool shade are lovely garden secrets.

Grass against adobe

Because the light is isolated and being reflected from a number of different sources, as might be the case using multiple soft boxes, the effect can be quite luscious.  Poke around your garden with camera in hand.  It is quite rewarding!

until next Monday,
