Words Vs. Pictures

A picture is worth a thousand words.  But what if the words were also a picture?  That seems to me to be the case in using the Wordle image generator.  I enjoyed playing with the different layouts for the image, but much preferred the words to be a mix of horizontal and vertical, rather than slanting across the image.  It was easier on my eyes. 

Copyright for images is broken so often that I'm relieved to find sources where it isn't a worry.  (Sites like tumblr have constant problems with people stealing and reposting artwork and photographs, claiming them as their own). 

To tie to my theme, I have a small yard and deck, so I generally go the cottage garden route.  Planters, small shrubs, some bulbs--whatever strikes my fancy. So here's a picture of a cottage garden on this winter day.
