Art from the garden

If you haven't clicked onto my colleague Ron Tarver's new gardening blog, you need to get right over there. Ron's a fabulous photographer with a special interest in gardening. He's going to be blogging about how he photographs nature, and already he's got two incredible photos up.

The blog is called "Art from the Garden," and you can get there from here: http://blogs.phillynews.com/inquirer/artfromgarden/. Check out that photo of a Gerbera daisy floating in a bowl. Have you ever seen anything so moody?

We all like taking pictures of our gardens, but some of us - like me - should never quit our day jobs. I'm going to be checking in with Ron's blog regularly, in hopes that he'll teach me how to do better.

Even if I don't get it, I'll at least enjoy the beauty of his expertise.

Meanwhile, I'm posting a picture I took early this morning in my vegetable garden. The first few squash blossoms of spring are always a thrill and it's hard not to capture their delicacy and brightness. I take no credit for anything except being up early enough to see them in the morning sunlight.

Enjoy.

Can you have a link added in your blog to the stories you mention so it is easy to get to the referenced article? Even if the story mentioned is going to happen in the future, the link could be put on later. As I read the blog - sometimes catching up on older posts, I want to read what you mentioned but it takes a bit to get there.

Thank you
