This was a refreshing article. What a great idea for any photographer or other artist. Comparing the ground cover in spring and fall is not a new idea, but an excellent way of seeing. Sometime, we travel away to photograph areas we really don't know, myself included. There is something about spending enough time getting to know place! This shows in Franks photographs. Thank you Michael for posting this. Keep up the good work Frank! Thanks to photography you will never look at your garden the way you did before this project.
