I hope you are into Community Gardens(Very PIC HEAVY)

I recently developed and applied to conduct a research project/photographic documentary on Community Gardens. I was approved and will now be spending much of my time in the eight community gardens in my town, for the next month and a half. It should prove to be an interesting endeavor, as the communities are distinctly diverse(back to earth folks, housing project, womyn's garden to name a few) I will also be posting some of my photos along the way and, as always, would appreciate any feedback, criticisms, favorite choices, any ideas, etc.

1. These are great.

I was actually thinking today of taking some shots of my garden to post and then seeing everyone else's, but I didn't get around to it. Now I'm inspired. Watch for my garden pictures tomorrow. :)

2. Wow you all are so far ahead of us

garden wise. Beautiful photos and what a neat project. Good for you for developing and getting to implement it. You have a magic touch when it comes to capturing those around you with your camera.

5. You make me want to go cultivate

Can you resize the pictures on your site to be narrower? As they are, I have to scroll off the edge to view the whole image and scroll back and forth to read the text. My monitor is on low resolution.

Birdhouse #38 takes the prize! Great art.

6. I will resize with future posts.

I usually upload from a different site. I used this one because it would more quickly load a bulk of them. Sorry about the size, I had trouble viewing them as well, but I'm not sure how to resize them now.

9. I imagine your garden has grown a bit since this photo.

I notice a change in mine every single day.
