Just one of those days.
Nothing quite right.
Maybe tomorrow.
The flower beckoned but I could not capture the invitation.
And CJ, too, in his design study, almost got it right, but not quite, in Tangier Gardens.

They take lives without mercy.
The closer you get to them the more diversified, dangerous and threatening the topography, forests, cliffs, ravines and rivulets become.
Mountains make clouds do things.
Under the forest cloak, the mysteries become all-consuming.
Then how do the mountains turn into something marvellous?
This is landscape.
And this is what Christopher Janus explores in Tangier Gardens.

Is this graphic calculation true? If so, then only about 4% of Canada’s boreal forest nullifies all of Canada’s carbon production.
I remember when I was in school, being taught that the carbon given off by people was taken in by plants that in return gave off oxygen for people. And that was a good, healthy thing.
The graphic above, if its calculations are accurate and true… then, on a world wide basis, I would conclude there is no carbon emergency on planet earth.
Am I correct?

If so, then CJ’s obsession with plants and landscape in Tangier Gardens is a good thing. Read about it yourself @ https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv.

This is a landscape story—a beautiful family moment!
So what is going on here? A young couple is introducing their baby to one of their cows and recording it on camera. Their cow sports a headdress celebrating its return to the valley, home from pastures high up in the mountains—Alpine life.
Simple family pleasures… but only with work, work with the animals, work with the landscape, work with family—very hard work and the result? Beautiful.
