how does your garden grow?
On an overcast winter day I returned to Kew to see Dale Chihuly's glass installations again--this time to take pictures. The sun wasn't at its best performance, but the bright colours were still captured. At the ticket booth, a foul-mouthed lady behind me kept on swearing at another woman for jumping the queue. Unbelievable--she wouldn't stop, and so I secretly planned to stick a cactus in her dirty mouth since there were quite a few of those plants around. People generally showed more interest in art than nature--I'd walk pass the plants and their Latin name plates only to stop by a piece of glass sculpture in delight. The glass works and the plants complement each other, but I suppose without the green surroundings the glasses wouldn't appear as beautiful by standing alone. One needs a mixture of the artificial and the natural.
