We have been creating this garden plant-by-plant and room-by-room for over fifteen years now around our home in North Georgia. I woke one morning after a rare overnight snowfall and took a quick tour with our cat, Ringo, just as the sun was breaking through the clouds and mist. I knew I had to work fast, and these shots were taken over a space of about twenty minutes as the snow quickly began to melt – it was all gone before lunchtime.
