Scott keep busy by develop his garden in Sonoma , CA .

" Hi , I am Scott Geiger , a retired computer Programmer in Sonoma County Ca .   We go on a south facing hillside acre overlooking Santa Rosa . The nursing home was built in 1948 and purchased by us in 1999 when much of the present garden was part of a drive that coil around the house . I have maintained a yearly photo journal of the changes using a variety of digital cameras , most recently a Nikon d700 . Over that period I ’ve become mesmerised by the development of our garden ’s grapheme ; a synergism between our best ( ad hoc ) effort at conception punctuated by the relentless egression of the native landscape painting . exposure logs are an priceless pathfinder .   The affiliated photos are a sampling of this yr ’s May log .
