Recently, I happened across the photography portfolio of Richard Powers.  His work is beautiful but a few of his images really caught my eye.  I have no idea if they are from the same garden (wouldn’t that be an extraordinary place!)  but they are all inspiring me for different reasons.

I simply love the huge bird cage – I think that having one hanging from a tree branch in the garden would be a gorgeous way to add even more fauna to the garden.

How did they do that??? Technically, I am not quite sure, but have you ever seen a land to water transition like this? Reminds me of something you might see at the Garden of Cosmic Speculation or something.

And this rustic take on a modern negative edge pool is reminding me that mixing non-typical materials into a scheme can often provide just the right amount of surprise to make a design really work.
