As we head towards New Year, another cycle is complete and the garden comes full circle. About this time last year, I had the idea of taking one photo of the garden each month, the picture to be taken while stood on the same spot, looking at the same view through the garden arch each time. Twelve months and twelve photos later this project is finally complete and is shown in the gallery below – may take a little while to load the images – or the iPhoto stream - for full-screen viewing.
This series of monthly pictures shows the winter-bound garden tentatively emerging from ice and snow, turning green and leafy as the weather warms, bursting into flower, turning into a lush, overflowing paradise, racing to producing seed for the next generation, then slowing down, tiring and fading, turning brown and dying, succumbing to frost as the temperatures fall and finally returning to sleep when the ice and snow returns once more to encase the garden and complete the year.
