Leah Sattler Administrator Posts: 2603 oklahoma August 18, 2008, 09:16:45 AM I'll start. I took several shots of this pecan leaf floating on a drop of water on a cabbage leaf, here is one. It caught my eye in the garden one morning. It was so simple but so beautiful. Logged "One cannot help an involuntary process. The point is not to disturb it. - Dr. Michel Odent

Irene Kightley Posts: 123 November 08, 2009, 07:00:56 AM Wow, what amazing rock formations ! You're so lucky to have such natural beauty nearby. Lovely colours in the leaves adunca. The leaves on our two young Maples dropped early this year because of drought. I'm hoping they'll recover Ok and we get more rain next summer.  The autumn theme continues... This is a cellar next to our house which we built for keeping food cool. The the climbing plants now cover the gloriette on top of it to give it more shade - these are the autumn colours : This is the cellar from the inside - although this isn't really "Art" it feels very satisfying.

Brenda Groth Administrator Posts: 1879 November 10, 2009, 09:17:58 AM very satisfying indeed, never heard the word gloriette before..kinda like an arbor? Logged Brenda Bloom where you are planted. http://restfultrailsfoodforestgarden.blogspot.com/

Irene Kightley Posts: 123 November 10, 2009, 09:44:39 AM A gloriette is a sort of arbour - lovely word isn't it ? This is one definition : A gloriette (from the 12th century French for "little glory") is a building in a garden erected on a site that is elevated with respect to the surroundings. The structural execution and shape can vary greatly, often in the form of a pavilion or tempietto, more or less open on the sides. Climbing plants are often associated with this type of construction. This is ours from the south side in May - the climbing plants and (heavenly) Banks Rose are about four years old. I've a set of photos following the growth of the plants in Flickr here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/hardworkinghippy/sets/72157600095016262/ Gwen - every time I look at your rock photos I see more "creatures" and the last photo is full of erotic art ! We have lovely countryside here but I'm from Scotland and really miss mountains and rugged rocks and dramatic scenery. There's nothing nicer than sitting daydreaming looking at a rock face or making noises around rocks to get your imagination in gear at the wonder of their existence.

Gwen Lynn Posts: 736 November 10, 2009, 11:04:10 AM Thank you for your compliments, Irene! I have to admit...I do have an eye for the...uh...erotic & it apparently shows up in my photos when I'm not even trying!  Alas, I wish those rock formations were really nearby. Of course, nearby is up for interpretation. I took those pix in Colorado, on holiday last year. They are about an 11 hour drive (or one quick plane ride) from here, at a place called "Garden of the gods". http://www.gardenofgods.com/home/index.cfm?flash=1 It is almost impossible to take a bad picture there, as is much of the American west. It's my fave place to vacation. I often dream of visiting Europe though. Maybe someday... Here's a few pix we took on a weekend trip to western Okla. This is about 4 hours from where I live. 1st 2 pix are the Gloss (aka Glass) Mtns. 3rd pic is at Great Salt Plains Refuge.  glossmtns1.jpg (46.38 KB, 670x503 - viewed 245 times.)  glossmtn2.jpg (80.85 KB, 670x503 - viewed 247 times.)  grtsaltplns.jpg (60.16 KB, 670x503 - viewed 249 times.) « Last Edit: November 10, 2009, 11:14:14 AM by Gwen Lynn » Logged
