Thatโ€™s really beautiful. I rarely see hostas in bloom but I love the foliage.

Hope you are feeling yourself soon.

It looks great with the missing horizon. Worth it!

Such beautiful stained glass colors. This lovely image genuinely makes me feel happy.

Not to speak for JBC, but just generally - Grevillea are quite popular in gardens here in the SF Bay Area. Our climate supports (and we admire) a lot of Australian and South African natives.

Mesmerizing. Itโ€™s like a detail of an Oโ€™Keefe painting.

Oh, you are in Berkeley! I had been thinking U of Colorado gardens looked remarkably similar to ours. :) Hope you are enjoying it.

Fun fact, the redwood steps and benches everywhere are made from a redwood that fell in the gardens during a storm a few years ago.

Visit the grove across the street!

Jen is an incredible wildlife photographer. Her style is instantly recognizable โ€“ the mark of a real one, if you ask me.

That's gorgeous, Chris. The b&w contrast is very nice.

Super lovely, Will. Feels very pure and calm.

I love that. It can feel like thereโ€™s no other way sometimes.

Ah thank you! It was a little mini version I spotted in a rock wall along my walk. Itโ€™s got some speed! ๐Ÿ˜ธ

Thanks, Christoph! I know you stay quite busy, but I bet those moments in the mountains and desert flow pretty nicely, too. ๐Ÿ˜ธ

Last year I dedicated six months to only shooting and editing for my UV floral series. Just one long flow state. I highly recommend the experience for anyone creative.

If you can't swing that kind of time, just keep in mind what sick days are really for: making art.

Beautiful, Ian. That area must be a great playground for you. Plenty of rain in store for the next few days, too. :)

Wow. This is one of those images you can see, hear and feel all at once. Amazing photo.

I love this! What a wonderful series it could make.

Iโ€™m sure it would be easy to license the designs if she wanted to see them out in the world, too.

Nicely done, Loretta. The balance and perspective are beautiful.
