Photography Quote- Kate Morton

For the most part photography is viewed as a way to preserve memories and a physical item to hold on to for posterity.  I love looking through the few old photographs from my own family and truly appreciating how they lived their lives at that time.

I stumbled across this quote the other day from one of my favourite authors and wanted to share it.

“It is a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future; moments that should have been allowed to be evaporate into the past; should exist only in memories, glimpsed through the fog of events that came after. Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down....” ― Kate Morton, The House at Riverton

Flower Power with Left of Centre Photography's Photographs

With the gorgeous weather we have been having in Georgetown Ontario lately I have been spending much of my time outdoors and unfortunately most of my time in the backyard.  I say unfortunately because my backyard has been looking so incredibly sad.  Other than the huge, but very cool, play set we put in last year for the kids the rest of our space is looking downright pathetic.  I needed inspiration... and SOON! I casually flipped through the odd gardening magazine (where to be honest I just looked at the pictures) and still drew a complete blank while staring at my own gardening space.  It just so happened that the Georgetown Horticultural Society was having a Garden Tour on Sunday and I decided it was time to see what people locally were doing with their gardens.  If you haven't heard of the Garden Tour in Georgetown I would suggest looking into it for next year. Simply put, local people volunteer their gardens to become open to all who buy a ticket from the Georgetown Horticultural Society and they let us walk through their spaces, ask questions and take photographs.   It was perfect! Equipped with my camera I perused great backyards and skipped the extended research of seeing what the heck won't die in my own backyard because hey if it'll live in a backyard a few blocks away from my own chances are at least 50% better that I can be successful too! After 5 houses and a tour around the Watch Tower gardens I am feeling much more inspired to grab a shovel and start working on my own backyard!  I feel a backyard landscaping blog in my near future... now where's my shovel?  :) If you want more information check out the Georgetown Horticultural Society's website-
