I loved, loved, loved going to Kew Gardens when Joy and I were in England last August, since we had, beyond its usual delights, the opportunity to search out the garden photography exhibit called ‘Imagine Yesterday…Today.” And such a surprisingly sweet thing it was, too. The curators of the Garden Photographers Association 2006 competition had done a wonderful job of hanging 98 masterful garden images; printed and framed and up close, the images fulfilled the promise of their small thumbnails on the contest site. My image, “Agave 1″, a shot I made in the private garden of Phoenix Perennials’ nursery owner Gary Lewis, and part of my exhibition series of thorny plants called “Hurt Me,” won an honourable mention, and it was a lark to watch people enjoy it.
