Elizabeth over at
Garden Rant posed an interesting question/request. She would like to see more people in gardens this year. While I love to see other people in their gardens I don't actually like to have my picture taken. I am not very photogenic. I am not all that bashful but geez, I can't take my own picture while in the garden. This is what happened when I tried to take my own picture. Scary.

I have friends that don't mind if they are occasionally caught in the act of enjoying my garden. After all they are as lovely as any plant in my garden. I would understand and not post someone that I don't think would like to be shown. I wouldn't embarass anyone.

It is a good thing that my DB would pose for a picture so I could show the scale of this cigmicifuga. People and pets do give more life to the garden. After all a garden is to be enjoyed. Some people have fretted about our "Big Dog" in the garden but I can tell you she hasn't done as much damage as I have from time to time.

However when I am out in the garden working or with my camera I wouldn't want anyone to see a picture of me trying to take a picture of my gazing ball. Or to know how many pictures Itook before I decided I can't get a picture of my gazing ball without my self being in the picture or the many other goofy things I do in the garden.

I don't know Elizabeth. We will just have to see what visitors the garden brings us in 2008.
