All the pictures were taken yesterday morning (16th November 2016). I have never taken pictures of the garden so late in the year. Usually I have done it in the summer, when everything is so green and vibrant.
But in the midst of winter it takes on a completely different and mature look, the vibrant glossy summer colours now faded to faded terracottas and muted greens.
When I marvel at how everything looks so right, Marc will just pass it off and say that it was just thrown together just like that, but I don’t believe it, they such an eye, design and art having always been their career.
It’s also finding the pieces and then leaving them to weather naturally.
I would be too impatient ……..
……. everything would be too precisely positioned……..
……. and the natural look I crave would be completely lost. It is an art.
Every time I look I see something I haven’t seen before. It’s so unbelievably peaceful, it looks so effortless, and it’s such a constant source of inspiration ....... it’s Marc and Rick!
