Nice take on the theme – the first one has that action and in the moment strength vibe – and like this shadows in the second I votings more ponderous mood
You’ve selected a body of people who give their all to making gardens, even small ones, things of beauty. So, your post is most appropriate for the challenge this week. Bert and I aren’t great with gardening, but we’ve done better since retirement. It does take time as well as some attention, and I’ve found that Bert actually enjoys the quiet moments watering in the evening! Thanks so much for your contribution this week. I look forward to what you post next.
There seems to be a staff of four or five people that work really hard at keeping multiple planters and gardens outside and inside of a local clinic and every time I see them working on the flowers and plants I always thank them. That little bit of beauty when you don’t feel good is nice to see.

Excellent. Thank goodness for the planters, without whom we’d be bereft of a lot of plants!

That is hard work – done for the pleasure of the flowers that come. I like your choices – the crouching down – all about labor. Nice!

I’m so glad you highlighted gardeners, Sandy. It’s truly a labor of love. My shots weren’t very good and I couldn’t use them!

Volunteers plant much of our public garden each year. Without them, the work would not get done.
