Trapped

by

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.

Swiss National Day

by

I have just finished an Amazon KDP novella entitled Landscape Libretti and am now on a well-earned vacation in a country (Switzerland) where, as far as I can see, local people are proud of their heritage.

Especially in the agricultural villages at the ends of the roads in the Jungfrau Region where for centuries the local people have managed the forests and pastures in these inspiring Swiss Alp landscapes.

 

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.

Mountains Are Mysterious

by

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.

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.

IRL… now

by

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.
