Anonymous said...: Hello to you beautiful gardener and lover of flowers.

I am running slow blogging these days, but doing some commenting tonight. I love this rose series, especially the last photo. I don't know why that particular one touches me. I find it especially elegant.

I love roses but they hardly last here in the southwest. The sun and heat is brutal on them. But when they are here I too love to photograph them, especially with the sunlight slanting through their petals.

I think what I like about the last photo is that it shows the bud as well, which creates a sense of hope and "more to come".

Your other flowers are SO SO SO lovely. You can tell that you love them all.

I'm sure it was hard for you over Thanksgiving, missing your sister, but I too believe those we love and lose in physical form are still with us, all around us. And that we can talk to them and even feel their love. Dale must be SOOOO proud of you for doing her garden. I'm sure everything there is just FILED with her spirit as well as yours.

You are a dear to care and love so much. Know that you are in my thoughts, Love, Robin; November 28, 2008 at 7:30 PM

My sister dale’s garden is a magical path lined with fruit trees, gardenias, day lilies, and many other flowering plants. When you enter her garden you immediately are captivated by it’s tropical feel even though it is located in the California Desert.

It all began as a tribute to the only sister I had, a sister only two and a half years younger than me. Dale was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and passed away two years later after a tango like dance with the disease.

The pictures on the website were taken over a three year period documenting the beauty and life that goes on after her death. I continue to take pictures almost daily as the beauty unfolds. A whisper of Dale’s ashes grace the garden and I believe that she is the caretaker of every bulb, plant, tree and bird that flourishes. It started in a small area and then expanded to include a koi pond, grape arbor and vegetable garden. Dale’s nurturing touches every living thing on our property.

Please enjoy the beauty that I hope I have captured with these pictures. May they bring you joy and a sense of calmness if you are stressed dealing with an illness or life’s everyday challenges. May Dale’s memory bring joy and hope to others.
