The orange hosta leaf is an interesting capture: when the green fades in fall they can still be beautiful, and you've captured that perfectly.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Garden Therapy. I'd be happy to have you feature my new pillows in your holiday post.

When I was designing my garden makeover this fall, I tried to incorporate elements of texture, pattern, and contrast into my designs.

I groaned over almost every picture of how beautiful they were .. absolutely gorgeous and made me sick for Spring and summer already .. not fair girl !!<br />You paired descriptions with pictures wonderfully .. such as the ranunculus with taffeta and the vision of party dresses and the actual sound of the rustling it makes .. see ? You hit the nail on the head because no description stands on its own .. so many other variables automatically come through the door with it !<br />Fantastic job girl : ) I want to see part two !<br />And yes .. playing with our pictures gets us through this dreaded long miserable winter eh ?<br />JoyJoyhttp://canadiangardenjoy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-33317413412834369312011-11-16T14:42:42.246-08:002011-11-16T14:42:42.246-08:00These are great photos Jennifer!

I know just what you mean, it is hard to concisely picture texture because it is all around and so important to the garden and hardscapes of the design. I just stopped working now to see how others pictured the words. You will have a wonderful post on pattern I am certain. And texture often has the use of repetition. I was going to touch on that, but thought that might make another good word for conflicts with GBBD. Repetition is really common in gardens and in design as a useful tool. Next time W4W and GBBD are the same, on Dec. 14, a word that will work for both will be in order.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-69236555749329064832011-11-16T10:59:17.249-08:002011-11-16T10:59:17.249-08:00Such beautiful shots - love the icicles.Such beautiful shots - love the icicles.elainehttp://rosebankramblings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-53075963207596126612011-11-16T10:00:27.711-08:002011-11-16T10:00:27.711-08:00aloha,
