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.

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.

April Showers May Flowers

by

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.

Switzerland: The Real Music

by

Mountains so alive with energy they breathe clouds—in and out… in and out…

Animating so many levels that I can sense… and so many more levels beyond my senses.

Remarkable solar energy exchanges stream through patches of blue sky to electrify the landscape.

With exuberant displays, creeks dance through fields and gush down mountain cliffs exploding with  excess energy into bubbling mists of white foam… all the way down… down… down…

To the valley bottom where they join lively white rivers rushing over boulders, winding through steep mixed forests, chartreuse deciduous and deep dark green conifers, rubbing against each other and bursting with an exquisite energy I can feel, I can see, I can hear.

But I can sense the sadness in older people, the farmers, trudging about daily homestead activities burdened with melancholy memories how it was 70 years ago… compared to the invasive, fast moving trains, packed full of ‘bucket-list’ tourists racing on to their next destination before their vacation is over. 

And alas, I too, am just one of those tourists… in Switzerland.

But CJ, in Tangier Gardens, Curious Tales, Orient Espresso and Dubai Sands, thought he wasn’t a tourist. Little did he know. Check it out @ https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv
