Her feature I Garden, Therefore I Am is an organic marvel unto itself, and if you appreciate discovering an isle of calm in the midst of a crazy world, Layla's feature is not to be missed.
Photo Collages always tend to catch my attention, too, of course, and multi-talented Layla has perfectly captured images and words of August's fading summer moments within a gilt-edged frame which will delight both viewer and reader!
Meanwhile, this particular SMA entry needs gracing with a photo or two of its own, something garden-y, botanical, seasonal. How about a couple from my photographer daughter Maya Henderson?
As you may know, Maya is an online fiberista who hand-spins, paints, and dyes all manner of wool and fluff into fabulous skeins of yarns for special knitting projects. How fortuitous that she can use her way with a camera to showcase the color-drenched yarns offered in her etsy shop. Yarn colors are morphing there just like the seasons!

Oh, how about one more snap before summer ends altogether? Perhaps something less focused and...evergreen, a personal favorite of mine!
