The theme of this month's Picture This photo contest at Gardening Gone Wild seems to have been picked with Buffa10 in mind. Judge Rich Pomerantz is looking for an image that conveys a theme or design scheme or unifying principle, which I'd be hard pressed to find at Squirrelhaven. I found that inspiration (among others) in the magical garden in the woods of Mike & Kathy Shadrack. Mike's a Hosta expert; you can find my review of his new book at Carpe Geum. The image above is of Kathy's sunny garden on a hillside, backed by beech woods. I hope to post more about this visit. I was so moved by the beauty of the setting, I doubt I can convey it in words and images.

Stay tuned for the new, exciting Bizarro Garden Awards - coming soon!

Wow! Great shot. I hardly took any pictures of that part of the garden because the bright sun and dappled shade just weren't cooperating with my camera -- but you pulled it off! Really captures the beauty of that grass catching the sun!
That IS a wonderful shot of a beautiful garden. I just LOVE that stone wall, fantastic.
Good luck in the contest. great entry.
Great shot, MMD. It's like the miscanthus was on stage with a spot light, the sun.

Great shot MrMcD. You captured the way the wall gathered up ones focus. I can't wait to hear more about your visit.
Oh, I love how the light falls on the grass. Quite an amazing photo. BTW, I haven't been by for a while and must say I like your new design...
Very nice capture here.
You've captured the light on the grass so well. Beautiful and best wishes on your entry into the GGW photo contest.
Lovely shot! The lighting is great.
