The Leather Oaks Hot Garden -- The Magic PortalThe Celebrated Entry to the Enchanted Garden |
This Page Created on January 15th, 2013 |
Ah! The Magic Portal. It was my gardener Mark's idea to take the passageway between the house and garage and turn it into a path. It was nature that turned that simple path into a magic portal. The simple Beuchat wetsuit takes such a great sheen, it makes a perfect entry into the Magic Portal series. |
Early one October morning, just after Hurricane Katrina, I treated myself to a little rubber therapy in the Oneill Oasis drysuit. It's been featured on a couple of pages if you want to follow the link. The fatsia Japonicas in the foreground, and the branches of tall trees in the background give a hint at the transformation from my rather prosaic front yard to the different world of the back. Hence, the Magic Portal. |
Wow! Leather Oaks has Rubber Kilted Guards now. If you want to ask that question I'm sure is foremost in your mind, click the photo! |
Is the tour about to begin? Got your cell phones set to vibrate? Well, lets see what we can see! |
Way, way back, near the corner of the garage, the Harnessed Rubberman can be seen checking out the surroundings. |
He moves partway up the path. He looks towards his pond-liner waders booted feet. |
Harold glances to the side, his bulge proudly thrust forward. The other magic of the Magic Portal is the always interesting shadows. Deep, bulge-enhancing shadows. |
Harold peers to the right, the deep shadows doing interesting things to details. The link will take you to the second page of Magic Portal photos. |
