Preparing to garden

We had a little Spring 'disasterama' here, but everything worked out for the best in the end. My wife rightly decided to part ways with the landscaping service we'd used for a number of years, as their work was getting more than a little sloppy. In retrospect, early Spring is perhaps not the most convenient time to make a change like this. The last cold snap of the season has passed, and we are getting ready to garden in earnest. This photograph is a kind of material study. I really liked the relationship between the plywood, terra cotta, and concrete here. Rolleiflex SL66, Zeiss 120mm f/5.6 S-Planar Macro lens, Tri-X. Such a nice lens! I use a Maxwell bright screen in the Rollei, so focussing is very straightforward.
