MAMA'S GARDEN.

A lion head fountain inspired this space.
Serene green. Everywhere.
Lily pads provide texture on the water. And sentiments of the lake Mama grew up on in South Georgia.
Mama uncovered this overgrown pond and gave life to an oasis.
Some sculptures are timeless. Here, froggy.
Lotus in full bloom.
The artist adds strokes of color.
Delicacy.
Mama's sundial. The globe struck by cupids arrow.
The birds and the bees.

I recently returned to my home of Atlanta, Georgia 
and was swept away all over again by 
my Mama's garden.
The intricacies. The refuge. The color.
The garden is a journey all its own.
  Dig here, plant there. 
It matures with time.
Water. Watch. Wonder.
Mother Earth surprises you. 
The garden has a soul.
