I'm doing a drive-by blogging here, but just wanted to share this photo I took at the Berkeley Botanical Garden. I love the wide field of wind-swept grasses paired with the geometric Monkey Puzzle Tree- it's like standing in a painting where the artist swipes mounding swashes of thick paint over the canvas.
Wow ... that is a phenomenal shot! Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeletelove the textural tapestry of the flowing watery grass undulating down the hillside.
Beautiful trees, and although I occasionally see them here, it was quite remarkable travelling through South America seeing these planted in people's front gardens! I'd never seen so many! These are lovely specimens though.
ReplyDeleteSo *that's* what a Monkey Puzzle tree is!
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! This is one of my favorite moments in the Botanical Garden. It's what landscape design should have more of- translating natural elements through a human lens. Naturally unnatural!
