People often think that #thujas are sterile #hedges without any life. But you can leave gaps in a #thuja #hedge for native bushes or use them as a climbing help - like for this #rose. A solution with existing thuja hedgerows if you can't erase them: thin them out, add plants.
In this thuja live a lot of insects, I found nests of paper wasps, and blackbirds build their nest, fully protected from the neighbour cats.

hours before flight,

hours before flight, 
holding onto one more sunrise 
dancing through the pines –

home finds its shape, piece by piece, a 
puzzle, unbounded by hedges

Hedging on a Monolith Amidst Signs of Stopping

From 2007: "This is several exposures of hedges near PSU. I don't remember how many in a row I shot, but they are lined up equidistant & I tried to catch each from roughly the same distance. Only the last one had the pole directly in front of it. It becomes quite ghostly."

#Wss366 Hedge / #GreeneryDay Japan

The day had started well. A gentle wind scented with verdant greenery stirred my hair. Bright violets bloomed along my path, mingling with yellow buttercups and brilliant orange poppies. Thrushes and titmice flitted in the #hedges. It was truly the kind of day where wandering the byways was a goddess-given blessing.

So wondrous was the day that I didn’t even mind the occasional burr that attached itself to my mage’s robes or the dense foliage that forced me to walk. The moss-covered path was easy on my feet. The occasional brook sang to me. Butterflies as bright as the star brooch of my profession delighted my eyes.

Who was this young woman so enamored with life?

It was me, Elaine the Wandering Witch.
