Planters (4 Comments)

Filed under: Photos,Yard and Garden — The Spider Herself @ 3:22 pm

One of my many cousins came over for a visit when we were at my parent’s back in July. Looking back, I see I promised stories and photos about the trip. And then didn’t post any photos! I took a ton so we may have to go retro here and revisit July.

Back to my cousin. This Cousin, a dear friend to me, has an artistic eye. I have often admired her sense of style and her ability to “see” things. I take tons of photos with the belief that sooner or later I will take a good one. Later as I go through what I’ve taken I’ll think- oh! that turned out nice! or the more often that didn’t work! Cousin pointed out to me one of my Dad’s planters on the patio and commented that it would make a neat picture. I didn’t imediately run and get my camera but I did remember what she said and later I went back and took a few. The Girls had “watered” the plants- took cups full of water to them earlier so there is a bit of a darker area from the water that I wish wasn’t there but it still is a neat perspective.

I also like this one even though it’s a bit crocked. (oops, I see they are both a bit crocked- what does that tell you about my ability to “see” a picture?) I think they might be better if cropped down so just the wood of the planter shows and not the rock patio.

Thanks Cousin for a neat perspective!

  1. neat perspective. So enlighten me. What is planted in the second planter? I thought it was a seedum of some type at first but now I don’t think so. Do you know what it is?

  2. Okay, I stared long enough. I think it is a sedum, but what kind?

  3. After blowing it up and looking closely The Col. thinks it’s sedum too. I will try and remember to ask my parent’s when I call them.
    When we blew it up to look at it and all we saw were green plants, I thought that was a neat photo too.
    See? My Cousin does have a great artistic eye.

  4. I liked that perspective of them too. I have a sedum that looks a little, tiny, okay not even really like that. That one is beautiful and mine is leggy and not so attractive. I want one like theirs.
