Trapped

Trapped?

Are you trapped?

If she looked upon the horror her husband had become… she would scream for the rest of her life!

From the 1958 teleportation movie The Fly… sci-fi/horror featuring Vincent Price in his prime: trailer @ https://youtu.be/mgDypzKO5co?feature=shared

The white-headed house fly cried out “Help! Help me! Please help me! Help me!”

Do you ever feel so… trapped?

In a web?

You will always find a way out.

You will always discover hope and beauty.

Talking Flower?

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?

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

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.

Mountains Are Mysterious

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.

Encapsulates

This photo with the foreground geranium detail, the middleground freshwater lake and the background village, forests and mountain clouds… They encapsulate the Swiss Alp landscape that endlessly inspires me each and every day.

Connecting with Nature

Finally dragged my sorry rear-end away from the screen, out of my mom’s basement yesterday to find the following.

Connecting with nature. It keeps me alive. It kept CJ alive in Tangier Gardens. Read about it yourself @ https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv.

 

Carbon, Plants and People

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.

April Showers May Flowers

We had April showers and we found May flowers. Modest pleasures. But roses are so much more.

CJ was not so fortunate, but he did find transcendent pleasures in Tangier Gardens. Read a free Amazon sample of my novel–lots of plants, gardens and landscape adventures–via a safe, clean, secure and direct link @ https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv.
