   That last photo gives me the urge to go plant shopping. Have a happy new year's eve!

   I seem to be a sucker for things that are covered in moss and lichens and show signs of age (I will restrain from making a crack about looking in the mirror...oops, I just did). I am especially mesmerized and enthralled with the photo that features the backlit tree with the contorted branching. Upon enlarging it, I feel I even see some fern fronds springing and clinging to life along its branches.
   Tatyana, your pictures are so beautifully alive with interesting details. I feel like I am getting to enjoy this gorgeous public garden in a very intimate way. Thank you.

   Love these photos too. I so appreciate the mature plantings... beautiful! Love the bench with the moss, also. Thanks for sharing!

   Beautiful photographs. The serenity, colors, lush foliage and ancient feel make me want to jump in the car and visit. Nice job of capturing Eden!

   I've so enjoyed all you GPOD-ers throughout the year and look forward to another year of plant learning, laughing and longing

   I'm mesmerized by that thick slab table, with its moss and salad bowl. You do all realize that at midnight all those aged plantings return to seedlings and begin all over again for a new year. Todays photos are even better than yesterdays... thank you Tatyana.

   A Happy & Healthy New Year to All... and especially to Michelle for making all this enjoyment possible.

   I'd like to piggyback on everyone else's comments--just gorgeous, an intimate tour of an ageless, almost holy place--thank you. Also thanks to Michelle for bringing us all together in such joy, beauty, and laughter every day. A most happy and healthy new gardening year to all!

    Another day of knockout photos--thanks so much for sharing, Tatyana.

    I'm ending the year deep in the woods of the Cape Cod National Seashore--scrub pine, lichen and moss, silver Birches and white-tailed deer, all covered this morning by a couple of inches of snow. A perfectly unspoiled landscape that needs no improvement by us.

    Happy New Year to all the GPOD'ers--looking forward to another year of inspiration and education from all of you!

    I don't comment often and usually later in the day after the rest of you have spoken and gone about your business, but I just wanted to thank Michelle for providing us all so much pleasure and to say HAPPY NEW YEAR to each one, I do follow your comments daily and have given each of you a face and personality of my own devising :) -- In 10 minutes it will be 2014 -- may it be a good year for all!!
