Poppy's Secret Garden
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I took this photo about five years ago before my Dad went into a nursing home. He was a mad keen gardener, not only with flower beds but had his own hydroponic vegetable garden..
This particular garden was filled with gnomes and maiden hair ferns all his grandchildren called it the Fairy Garden..It is not as pretty now, the old gnomes have faded and the ferns have since died..

On The wings of a Butterfly
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Last year a lady I was working with approached me and asked if I had written any poems about butterflies...Her 30 year old daughter had died from cancer a few years ago, she had loved butterflies...I didn't have anything, and I wasn't too sure if I could write her anything. A few days before my work was due to finish I went through some of my photos and came across these lovely pansies. I snapped them at The Wisteria Gardens, Parramatta and although it wasn't a butterfly, I wrote the words for my friend.. I framed and gave it to her on our last day together..She was so thrilled because pansies were her favourite flower..
