Featured in All About Flowers on Nov. 4, 2009 “Missing You” is exactly the feeling expressed in this song…....... / Carly Simon’s It Should Have Been Me / I think of you now and then, and I remember when, Love was new and you were mine my love. So why should we pretend, we were lovers but now were friends. I don’t want to say goodbye to you again my love. It should have been me that’s loving you, instead of someone else. I needed you but how was I to know. Should have been me that’s holding you, through all the lonely nights, I knew that I should never let you go. My LOVE. / What we once had is gone. No tears no right no wrong. It can never be the same again, my love. The more we see, the less we know, now you believe our love could grow. I don’t want to say goodbye to you again my love. Should have been me, that’s holding you instead of someone else. I needed you but never let it show, Should have been me, that’s loving you through all the lonely nights, I knew that I should never let you go. MY LOVE how could I survive,with another broken heart. On my own again, when I need a friend, to help me find a place to start. Should have been me that’s holding you, instead of someone else. I needed you but how was I to know. Should have been me, that’s loving you, through all the lonely nights, I knew that I should never let you go. My love.. My love. / /

Near Puget Sound, Washington state I think we all have a special place / that beckons to us. / When we see it, we ask ourselves, / “What is beyond that door?” / This intriguing garden gate / is that place for me. / It is not too far from where I live, / down this private lane, / on the waterfront. / I have gone there / all seasons of the year …. / it always calls to me. / Perhaps one day, / I will go and knock on their door / and meet the people who live there / just to see if the garden is / as wonderful as the promise. / That would satisfy my curiosity! / Or then again, / ...maybe not! / Maybe I will just let it / remain a mystery / and keep it / perfect in my mind / and simply, / ” my secret garden…..” I have photographed this scene at most seasons of the year, but I think that Springtime is certainly the very best when the Rhododendrons bloom. In Washington State, the Coastal Rhododendron is our state flower. This hybrid was blooming the end of May. / Nikon D200 AR-S Nikkor 18-55mm November ~ 1070 views / Sale of two cards Featured GARDEN DESIGN + COLOR & LIGHT ~ April 2009 / Featured HAPPY HAVEN PHOTOGRAPHY ~ 04 May 2009 / Featured A GARDEN SOMEWHERE… 19 May 2009 / Featured in COTTAGE STYLE group ~ 22 September 2009 / Featured WELCOME TO WASHINGTON 27 September 2009 / Featured in BEAUTIFUL group ~ 6 October 2009 / Won second place in “Garden Gate” challenge in BACK YARD PHOTOGRAPHY ~15 October 2009 / Featured COUNTRY GARDENS group ~ 25 October 2009 / Winner of “Secret Garden” challenge in BACK YARD PHOTOGRAPHY ~ 29 October 2009 All the images and text contained herein may not be reproduced, copied, edited, published, transmitted or uploaded in any way without my express written permission.
