Contrasts

It's been a week of strong contrasts: crazy clouds, lamp-black shadows, bright light.

The new place has an established spring garden: the likes of which I've never gardened before. As a young member at Horticultural Society meetings in Victoria, I was always a tad envious of the white haired veterans and their lush, mature gardens… so densely planted that in order to make room, they would regularly spade up chunks of plants to share. I guess that'll be me now.
