The Garden Voice

No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth,
no culture comparable to that of the garden ... 
But though an old man, I am but a young gardener.

-   Thomas JeffersonGarden Book, 1811

It pleases me to take amateur photographs of my garden, and it pleases my garden to make my photographs look professional.
