I’ve been sharing my own photos now for eighteen months so I thought the end of the year was a good time to call it a day.
If you wish, you can find the published photos by following the tag “LifeLens” on the main page of my site, or by hitting this link.
I thought I’d just round off the series by re-presenting a handful of my favourites.

Wild garlic. Me, surrounded by thousands of these plants. I included this photo in my roundup mainly to remind myself of that delicious smell.
I had forgotten that garlic is a plant. And with nothing better to do I went googling for garlic. Just where is the garlic clove? Oh …. in the ground.
So your posting of favorites wasn’t all a waste of time. 😉

It reqally is the smell. We have one or two garlic farms here, but they’re not common.

I’m hankering to go back there, too. It was only ten miles from home.

It’s lovely. They’re out quite early, kinda clash a bit with bluebells.

There was a chateau in Bomy that was surrounded by wild garlic. This photo brought back memories of that wonderful smell.

smells are unforgettable. I can remember my first day in the Infants by smell.

We have a lot of it around here also. The blossoms make a pretty springtime bouquet.

Tulbaghia violacea aka society garlic is a lovely plant, garlic smell, but none of the delicious food. I have them planted all over my yard. I wonder if the real thing grows here.

I can’t imagine that it was in any special environment here, but of course it is that much warmer there.
There’s a science experiment in that! Try planting a clove.

The garlic capital is in Northern California which is much cooler than here. Maybe some research is needed.
