Once again I attended the Garden Writers
Association meeting at the Oregon Convention Center. I was surrounded by inspiration. First, at the actual show itself, ideas
flowed from display gardens, other artists and, of course, plants. Plants on display, for sale and used to fill
out sample gardens. The above image of a
floating display of “helleborus” stopped me in my tracks.
I knew there was little chance of an amazing image with
convention center lighting and no tripod but there was no way to pass up a capturing
this gem. While standing there, it was
interesting to see others drawn to this display (arranged by Lucy Hardiman at
Perennial Partners). It was placed at
the corner if the table, no doubt by design, to draw folks like me to the
area. It worked.
Elevated the ISO a bit, held my breath and grabbed a few
frames of pure inspiration. I’ll have to
admit, never really gave these plants much of a look before now…how could I
have missed this?! It took viewing at
them in a completely different way for me to finally see them. Shame on me.
Thank you to all the sponsors, partners and fellow GWA
members at the meeting who were also responsible for refilling my inspiration
tank.
