I cultivate my garden, and my garden cultivates me.  ~Robert Brault

In my garden there is a large place for sentiment.  My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams.  The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful.  ~Abram L. Urban

How fair is a garden amid the trials and passions of existence.  ~Benjamin Disraeli

In the garden I tend to drop my thoughts here and there.  To the flowers I whisper the secrets I keep and the hopes I breathe.  I know they are there to eavesdrop for the angels.  ~Dodinsky

About Bo Mackison

I'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.

      Thanks Diane. I’m going to do these series with quotes on Sundays. A break from writing for me, and I have so many photos I want to share.

    Lovely garden images. I find that photos of gardens, as opposed to individual flowers, are challenging for me. I also like your processing.

      Thanks Anita. I was at New York Botanical Garden – some place rather special, of course – when my freshly charges battery for my big camera stopped holding a charge. So I went with the next camera — and I was pleasantly surprised!

      Ah, Joanne. I think this exhibit is one you would love. Wish we could have shared it in person, but I’m glad you enjoyed the photos!
