I admit it.  I’ve been a very bad gardener this year.  I have not been outside weeding, pruning, and taking the time to help my garden grow.  I never even put mulch down this year, and the weeds are growing like haywire.  Everytime I look outside my window or pull in the driveway, I see it – the grass needs to be mown, the weeds need to be pulled, the flowers need more organic fertilizer.

Seeing these lovely outdoor shots from Heather Smith Jones makes me want to be a better gardener though.  I feel inspired to get back at it when I see these photographs, they have such a lovely feeling to them.  I love when a few simple shots can really strike a chord within you, and these certainly do for me.
