Garden abstraction

This is a story of lazing in a neat, suburban garden. It’s bounded on all sides by fences and is carefully sculpted. The sun beats down and you screw up your eyes to combat the glare.

You see a series of abstract moments, unusual visions from the corners of your eyes. Little corners that invade your being from the inactivity of the day. And the sunlight plays on the conventional parameters of this garden to conjure up dreams of a languid summer day in this garden…

  Thank you Lee. Indeed, this is what happens when you study it for just a little too long!

  Much appreciated, Robyn. It’s interesting what you can when sticking to a relatively small area.
