I'm with Frank on the succulent front and would grow loads if the climate allowed. I think it's about those wonderful glaucous greens and their architectural outlines. I think that must mean a visit to the Botanic Gardens for an inspiration top up but first I must get the special plants issue of GI. From last year's edition I ended up with a wish list as long as your arm, much of it still unfulfilled, but I love the photographs and layout. Off to the shops today!!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-7492656319088858692016-12-26T00:06:39.641+00:002016-12-26T00:06:39.641+00:00Fascinating to look at the process which produces ...Fascinating to look at the process which produces your beautiful images. My favourite would be the blackbirds and overgrown garden probably because it reminds me of home. Love them all though. Next favourite is the dahlias.

I truly enjoyed seeing a collection of month's sort of side by side. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be a close call, but I would choose the dahlias. That design is so intricate, charming and lovely...as is the chosen color.<br /><br />Tomorrow I will still have a bit of Christmas prep to take care of, but am taking time to have "elevenses" at a French cafe with a friend, and then visiting my brilliant stylist for a much needed hair cut.<br /><br />Perhaps by this time tomorrow evening, I will be all set to relax as Christmas draws much closer.<br /><br />Best wishes to you and Cliff for a fabulous Christmas! xpFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-353668918214525032016-12-19T19:55:33.173+00:002016-12-19T19:55:33.173+00:00I loved reading about your thought processes for e...I loved reading about your thought processes for each illustration.
