Int'l Garden Show Impressions: Patterns, Colors, and More Pics

Patterns are important to any kind of good landscaping, be it how you lay the stones on your walkway, how far apart the bushes are spaced in your yard, or which patches of flowers go where in your garden. There's patterns everywhere in every day life, too - just take a look around!

I often enjoy photographing patterns...I guess it's just soothing in a way to see structure, symmetry and flow of the individual parts and how they look together. It makes whatever it is you are focusing your camera at seem perfect. It can also be quite interesting to center your picture on the one object or part that is different from the rest of the pattern, an unevenness or break in the pattern, so to say.

Patterns in nature are even more fascinating - how these came into being! You gotta love them! And the colors!!

On that note, please enjoy some patterns that caught my eye at the show, a rainbow of pattern glory:

LOVE that flaming red!


just the blooms floating on water


cacti in the continents exhibit





a sort of random pattern

love these blue hydrangeas!



these hydrangeas almost look frosted, wow!


Lots of colors to whet my palette!

Hope you've enjoyed my impressions and highlights of the IGS!
