Scanner art by Craig Cramer, gardening & more
Garden art, PhotoShopped images, etc.
A little early. Because I have time now, and maybe not later.
Having recently posted about managing expectations with heucheras (Graham Rice blogs about some tough new introductions coming next year), I thought it might be nice to try to scan them. (There are some heucherallas in the mix, too.) I didn’t dry them off first, so there’s some harsh reflection off the water on the leaves and scanner bed.
Warm blooms.
Pinks and purples.
Grasses. Tough to capture them on a little scanner bed.
Great post from Dark Roasted Blend, one of my favorite image blogs:
Some of the World’s Strangest Fences.
If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be most welcome on any lawn.

Speaking of hard to grow … Hat tip to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for pointing out this video of the Beijing Olympic Gardens. Better quality stills here.
I was in a hurry doing my scans this week. I think they look like crap. (They’re at the end.)
But there are details within each that look OK. So they’re first.
