I like the interesting photos and captions. My favourite is 2 - reminds me of the hopes and possibilities of my own garden.

I like the cushions on the folding chairs. That's very thoughtful!

oohh.....nice garden space! i can't wait to start one when we buy a house! i have to settle for just tomato and pepper plants in my flower beds for now......
and i'm amazed that you guys have a place like green's garage...that says a lot for the people in your community....

I love these photo's Colleen, and the whole thing of using just one word to describe what each represents is Brilliant! I just leave these posts...!

The cushions are what made me take the photo (Actually I took more than one.) Many of them are colorful, random and homemade looking. I just thought it was so sweet. Lots of elders do attend the jamboree.

3 good words!

True poetry. Does this art form of pictures and words have a name? These are some of my favorite posts. And yes they are inspiring and appropriate.

Thanks, Chris
I think of them almost as Tarot Cards. Choosing which photos to use is almost a subconscious process. I like to pick ones that represent how I feel at the time and put them together like words in a poem. I think I developed the ability to put photos together from years of keeping photo albums, which is what I'm doing now... a year's worth... all over my living room floor!

Pictures really DO say it all in a single word. Excellent.

#3 could also be "Vacancy"! or "Always room for more"!
Love your garden! Enjoy it.

I wondered about number 3 myself because it's only suggestive of community and is actually empty. I guess the photo also suggests trust... that there that there is a community and it does gather together.

As always, great photos with the words. Really enjoyed this.
