There isn't much to say except to note that there are power lines hanging in the background and, geez, meadows seem a lot less sublime with power lines hanging in the background. I could also say I felt irritated because it was uncomfortably hot and sunny and I hate trying to compose pictures to avoid power lines, but enough whining.
Greenlee's book is still on my Amazon wish list so I haven't read it yet. I thoroughly enjoyed his rousing call-to-arms at the SF Flower and Garden Show last March. I blogged about it here.
I liked the blue-gray Festuca ovina glauca (I guess) curling through the green meadow like a stream.
I usually take all my pictures looking through the vari-angle LCD viewer and holding the camera about waist-high. I think the perspective is generally ideal for garden photography but it distorts the meadow garden experience by making the grasses seem taller than they really are.

You are so smart to remember to visit John's meadow at Cornerstone NOW. Thanks - I will head there this week, early in the morning, before it gets hot. Every time I look at my, oh, 1 million grapes on my Rogers Red, I think of you ;)
Ah, one day I'll get to go there as well. Today, I just made it up to SF, enjoying the clear blue sky and balmy temperatures. That meadow looks very inviting, though...
I kick myself (yet again after seeing these photos) for missing his presentation at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle this year. Doh!

I like his book a lot.
I can imagine how this garden must sound when the wind is blowing.
Love all those grasses.
