Perfection! The building in the background really makes the picture for me. The vibrant green contrasting off the darkness of the building is wonderful.

So, so lovely! The softness of the building in the background really is a perfect counterbalance to the sensuous green plantings in the foreground. A very special image.

Beautiful. I like the detail in the grass and that bright sharp green with the softness of the blues behind.
Very well done. Looks like you are going back to shooting Rothko again!

Really liked your rice field series. My mom would take me to my grandmother's house during summer. There were acres and acres of rice field, next to a railroad track. I would sit by the rice patty and wait for the train to come by. The best part is seeing the rice stalks being pulled forward, like a ocean wave, by the force of the locomotive. Good times.

@Howard F.: Thanks for your visit and for such a lovely, evocative memory. I'm glad these photos could help you remember those very simple but important moments.
