Talking Flower?

by

What happens in the brief moment…

…before you decide to take a picture of a beautiful flower?

What causes you to stop and look again?

This is exactly what Christopher Janus explored and found out in Tangier Gardens. Try it yourself @ https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv

 

Look Closer?

by

Landscape librettos

Even a thistle can have its attraction.

Later on if you get too close, you’ll get hurt.

But CJ did get too close… was he too close to the cannabis or the absinthe? Find out in  Tangier Gardens.

Oooops

by

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.

Carbon, Plants and People

by

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.

Blues?

by

In Tangier Gardens, CJ thought he had the blues until he discovered Heinies, an independent–Tangier mid-twentieth century leftover, a dark basement dive, a friends-only speak-easy serving Austrian draft beer and whiskey, sporting an image of St. Augustine of Hippo behind the bar. While enjoying a shot and a beer, he heard Heinies favorite artist, Janis Joplin singing “Ball and Chain”. The blues. The real blues.
