It's a matter of perspective

Sometimes you need to get up close to see the detail . . .

Sometimes you need to be further away . . .

To get a different perspective.

We've been to Floriade many times over the 26 years that it's been running. The flowers are always beautiful, colourful and plentiful. But this is the first time we've been up on the Ferris Wheel to see the view from above.

I guess it's the same for gardens . . . or craft . . . or life. Sometimes you need to see and focus on the detail and sometimes you need to take a step back and take in the bigger picture from another perspective.

There's no right or wrong, no better or worse. Both have their own unique purpose and beauty.  I'm so glad I got to be reminded of that. And to see both perspectives of Floriade this year . . .
