This was fine. Had some interesting thoughts on how to view the landscape and the emotive response a natural environment can evoke. Felt a little like an Instagramers rumination over 200+ pages.

Nice. Quite nice. A subtle little volume of landscape and plant images with minimalist, yet gently instructive and focused ruminations. I learned some interesting things about trees of various kinds that I never knew before so that's enough for me to consider this little adventure in landscape literature a success.

It is NOT a how-to landscape or a landscaper's bible. It's about what's out there to see and how you think about seeing it which can be applied to designing landscape as well as appreciating it.
