Swallows in traditional tattooing symbolize returning, they have famous migration patterns always returning to the San Juan Capistrano islands. Sailors who got this tattoo have logging 5000 miles. It also represents a way home if sailor dies at sea, the bird would bring his soul home.

Rock garden. Beginnings of some cute little plants. This was a young garden, will be great with a few more years of patience.

Ida had a beautiful garden she had lived in her house for 30+ years and had been working on it constantly a true labor of love.

The bark on these trees is incredible so interesting to look at and feel - amazing texture in a garden.

Cresson's Garden Tour
This guy was really interesting his family had owned the property for generations and were all gardeners to some extent.... Charles however was the one taking it very seriously. It seems, his true love is Camellias. Asked him if he had someone to pass the property to after he was gone and he said he was hoping that his nephew would be the one, but he had no clear heir... sorta sad the property was amazing. 10-27-14
This is what every Japanese Maple aspires to......
