Product Description
Freeman Patterson has traveled the globe to photograph the wonders of the natural world. In this book, Patterson turns his camera towards the garden in his own backyard. Hear the whisper of wind through a canopy of trees. Inhale the sweet fragrances of ferns and grasses. Observe the vibrant colors of delphiniums, forget-me-nots, poppies, bachelor buttons and cornflowers. Trace the texture of white snowflakes against brown grasses. On early spring mornings, the daffodils dance and the young fronds of hay-scented ferns push their way up to the light. Summer brings lupins as far as the eye can see and robust hostas advancing on Virginia bluebells. Autumn's gold leaves give way to frost-gilded petals, and winter's first snowfall intensifies the red of high-bush cranberries. The expectant earth stirs again in spring as energy kindles and the garden is reborn. In Patterson's garden, rain is as important as sunshine, colors blend seamlessly with fragrances, and everything that lives and grows also dies, the cycle of life keeps rolling.

This is a collection of the most gorgeous photographs of the garden and natural land surrounding the home of one of North America's best known and most respected photographers. Accompanying each of the photographs is a brief, elegant commentary. The commentary itself is thought-provoking, prompting readers to dig deeper into their understanding of gardens, nature and growth - growth of plants and growth of the person.The images and the words are those of a contemplative soul and they create a focus for meditation. Walk and wonder with Freeman Patterson through the yearly cycle of his New Brunswick home.
