Playing In Photoshop

Milkweed plants deserve a better name...the 'weed' designation really reduces it to 'pest', when in reality it is food, home and nursery ( and death bed ! ) to a huge community of organisms ranging from bacteria and viruses to many kinds of insects and spiders. I have even see a groundhog eating them with relish...sitting up on his haunches, clutching the stalk between his two little hands and chomping it down like a banana.
This is a logo I played with in Photoshop while daydreaming about running a nature-themed Bed and Breakfast in some imagined landscape. All guests would slow down and drink in the sights, sounds and smells of a less planned, less managed life. Milkweed would grow all around the edges of the meadow and the air would be alive with butterflies and the hundreds of other winged insects. The milkweed plants themselves are hosts to a teeming community of life from bacteria and viruses to aphids, wasps, beetles and butterflies ! A large weathered brick circle, each morning swept of sand and twigs, would provide a perfect area to practice early morning yoga to start the day. We would dine on simple, seasonal fabulous vegan food and sleep with open windows so as not to miss the crickets,fireflies and cool night breezes. Ahhhh.
