Another green world - Agave attenuata

My Flickr account is mostly about improving my skills in order to document my home garden. This account is all about growing my subject matter. Garden and landscape first, photography second. Fun things happen along the way, like participating part-time in 365 Days in Colour, which expands my vision further.

 

I'd like to document my garden in three ways: Close-ups for detail, wide shots for context and interpretive shots just for fun. This image is an interpretation of an agave I saw the other day on a garden tour. Just planted my first one of these, but it's not as sexy as this one yet.

 

Working hard to complete a year-long garden renovation started last June. My desire is to create a special place for relaxation and entertaining that is lush, yet sustainable with minimal attention and water. It is a tall order and difficult at times. Looking forward to finishing the process, sharing with others and photographing wide shots to show the result of my efforts.

 

Thank you all for your support and encouragement!
