Duncan and Julia Brine and the Brine Garden
Photography in the Style of Traditional Chinese Painting by Don Hong-Oai | Retronaut
Here, photography jumps into, and, dreamily, clarifies traditional Chinese painting. The effect is startling and unique; the images create a median between a far-off reality and a composed ideal.

With many of our bird species in serious decline, it is clear that we must change our approach to bird conservation if we hope to keep them in our future. This program sponsored by the Bedford Audubon Society focuses on the role of native plants in the restoration of our landscapes because only natives provide the coevolved relationships required by animals. By supporting a diversity of insect herbivores, native plants provide food for birds, particularly during reproduction. Many people don’t want insects in their yards, but they do want birds. They need to realize that 96 percent of the terrestrial birds in the U.S. rear their young on insects.

“What we plant in our landscapes determines what can live in our landscapes. Controlling what grows in our yards is like playing God. By favoring productive species, we can create life, and by using nonnative plants, we can prevent it…
…Fortunately, more and more gardeners are realizing that their yards offer one of the most empowering conservation options we have, and are sharing their properties with the nature around them.”
