A skewed view of gardens…

Posted: March 23, 2006 at 11:39 pm by John

I think Jeff did a nice job selecting the best of our photos from the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show this weekend. The range of displays was truly amazing and gave us a TON of good ideas. Sooooo, as I am want to do, I have delved into our photo scraps and chosen a few oddities for my blog.

So we begin at the beginning. The event was at the Historic Cow Palace, which really looks like a big blimp hangar. It was built in 1941.

In addition to about 20 artistic installation gardens, the show includes an endless display of products for sale, including my absolute favorite. (Yes James…I worked rain into THIS blog entry too!)

At this point, since its past my bedtime, I’m just going to let the remaining pictures speak for themselves. All of these come from the installation gardens themselves. As you will see, the range of themes is quite broad. (Don’t miss the little people of Stonehenge below…”so you’re building a henge are you?”)

I really like the first mist picture and the man silhouette. And the ducks in wet suits are cute too.

Thank you. Out of the 15 new pictures I posted last night (I was on a roll), I like the B&W bay shot in the “Morning drive…” posting. Its got a classic look.

Very funny. The word verification for this comment is “suxdckx”, which I have translated to “sucks ducks”.
