Even though I live in a dry desert where nature is of no importance to most people, my backyard is green and plentiful. My entire life I've always loved nature, but the most we get here in sparks is grass, trees, and plenty of dirt. One of my favorite things about nature is how plants die and come back to life over the seasons. Which makes this observation so much easier to enjoy. Since we're starting around fall I get to watch life slowly fade from all the plants in my backyard.
I'm taking pictures every other day or so and I'm taking them in specific spots everyday. That way the change over time will be obvious. This picture is going to be my favorite though, out of all the sections that I chose I think this one will look the best as time passes.

By doing this, I think I'm going to gain a whole new respect for nature in general. Probably appreciate my backyard even more than I already do.
I told you I was looking forward to this, and you didn't disappoint me. I, too, find solace in my yard, in nature and I am fascinated with the cycles the seasons provide. I look forward to reading more. Your writing is already art.
ReplyDeleteI love the emotions your putting into this project! It makes this blog feel alive, it makes it special, it makes everything you write down even more beautiful! I agree on the spot you choose, the changes are going to be stunning and luckily you will get to see it close up. I would love to see what kind of plants and animals you have around that area, its probably shocking.
ReplyDeleteI think this is going to be amazing, and letting us into something that is of great importance to you takes courage. I really liked that you wrote about how most of us don't notice the significance of nature here in Nevada.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I never knew that a "simple" backyard could have so much meaning. You really do know how to bring art and knowledge together very nicely. What I think was the best out of all this was the level of voice you put into it; something like that isn't very easy to do. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe little bit of background honestly melted me. It was really touching and coupled with the winter background is top.
ReplyDeleteI love how you described your garden and how growing things isn't valued in a dessert like ours.When most can go to a super market. Its amazing to see how plants react in different seasons. i'm looking forward to your future posts.
