As for garden photographers, how differently they see things. With what ease the camera seems to compose a picture of great beauty with its discriminating lens. The naked eye can't censor some ugly sight on the periphery of vision the photographer takes the perfect shot and picks for us just what we need to see.
More Quotes from Mirabel Osler:
Crouchers move through a garden at a stoop naming, gasping, horraying, admiring or coveting plants Gapers saunter, smiling or sighing at what they find, succumbing to an intangible beatitude that takes them for a brief escape into another dimension. Both sorts of gardener are besotted both get their hands dirty think and talk gardening but on the threshold of another's garden, each use a different set of whiskers.Mirabel Osler
