English Gardens

Janna's pictures of the garden are some of my favorite. I love seeing the garden through her lens including the cleverly framed shots of her shoes and her legs and feet while laying down on the park bench. I wonder at English Gardens and find them beautiful. It is a mixture of defined neatly trimmed lawns surrounded by crazy flower beds filled to the brim with plants that may date back centuries. I wonder how much maintenance they require and how the staff takes care of the garden. Much of the historical architecture and artifacts are fascinating and important. But the gardens are a sort of living history giving us a glimpse of the past through something that is living. I suppose people are also a window into the past.
