garden pots  
And, in the garden...

I have "gardened" in pots on windowsills and on fire escapes, and have thought myself a gardener for as long as I can remember. I am seduced by the beauty of my garden. From time to time, I find it possible to capture an image that echos that beauty, and nearly matches what lives in my minds eye...



A resident of three years in the garden (planted in the spring of 1999)
is a fast growing clump of Black Bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra)




I have begun developing a page that cronicles the growth
of the native prairie grasses that I grow in the garden.




Some photographs of flora and fauna common to Stillwater Lake
in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.
