The topic of the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is Depth. Three photographs of my garden in my files caught my attention in thinking about that topic:
How deeply can you look into the blue of these ‘Georgia Blue’ creeping veronica blossoms in early spring? What do you see? What memories does the blue evoke?

How deep will you go into the woods on such a day? What is out there for you to discover?

How deep do you have to look to see perfection in the Camellia japonica ‘Magnoliaeflora?’

Thanks, Jason. there are two creeping veronicas I have in the garden. Georgia Blue, really a bit more electric and deeper blue than in the photo, and Waterperry, a light, pale blue. Georgia Blue blooms earlier than Waterperry and spreads more quickly. Both are hardy here in zone 7, although Waterperry needs a bit of cleaning up in the spring. I hope you can find them and they can survive in your zone; they are great ground covers.

Thank you. We don’t get much snow here, so I have to grab the camera quickly when it does.

Some winters we don’t get any snow. It’s nice to look at for a day, and it’s nice to see it go.

What lovely pictures! I don’t have those veronicas in my garden but the color reminds me of carpets of bluebells in the spring in England.

I love the snow scene and miss the snow a bit. It is funny you asked how far one would go into the woods. Where I am now, we went deep into a bamboo forest and easily could have gotten lost. Every stalk of bamboo was the same on a two foot wide path.

Lovely photos John – and the words too. (We could all happily die in a clump of blue like that couldn’t we?)
