READER PHOTOS! Robert and Nancy’s garden in Washington state
Today’s photos are from Robert Fairfax in Washington state. Robert says, “Nancy and I live in Snohomish, Washington, on 5 acres of woodland garden. I’m an artist and have made several concrete or resin sculptures and bas relief walls that are sited throughout the landscape. It is both a joy and a curse living with the many native animals that populate or visit this garden. Here are a few scenes from around the garden.”
Oh, I am in LOVE, Robert. That arbor and those walls are DREAMY! Please send more photos…

Robert, your artwork is stunning...the landscape pieces are mysterious and intriguing and yet very harmonious with their garden setting. The picture with the entangled tree roots and moss reminds us that Mother Nature is the ultimate artist. I visited your website and have to confess that I am not familiar with the word 'fenulent' which you use in the title of your wrinkled half globe type objects. Is it a word of your own creation?
Forgive me for my banal word choice but your work in your other category Fractal Art is amazing.
Love, love, love your work and how you have incorporated it into your landscape. Stunning and beautiful! Perhaps one day I will add a sculptural element to my yard. Thanks for sharing! (Like Michelle, I'd enjoy seeing more pics, too!)
I absolutely love the cement tree trunks and trellis. Your imagination and sculptural abilities are so apparent, as well as your designing capabilities!!
I agree with Tractor1 - interesting. I sorta do like the cement trees and keep thinking it would be perfect in The Game of Thrones setting. My favorite picture tho is the 3rd one with the dying hosta and green Beesia - reminds me of the circle of life - as something dies another is born.
I wish the plants/trees in that first picture were sharper, from what I can see I imagine they're lovely. Earlier I didn't know what to think but upon returning it struck me that I found those cement things disturbing, I appreciate artistry but I'm not a fan of that macabre scifi schitk... I know that some enjoy the occult but I don't.
I have admired the dying foliage of hosta before, but never thought to photograph it. You have an eye for art. Your yard has some wonderful moss. Cool ancient vibe. I love your choice of plants in the last photo.
I'm not too crazy about the arbor...makes me feel unbalanced! But I LOVE Earth Code and the Web wall shot. The organic connections/reflections are perfect in their setting. And the vertical sculpture looks ready to shout for joy! I would love to visit your garden, Robert, and just get lost! Thanks so much for sharing.

WOW! You seem to have really achieved balance and integration between the art and the garden.
Other-Wordly! You have a very effective vision for an unusual, yet natural environment. Kudos to your imagination.

Your Art is fantastic, I am a landscape designer and I have always wanted to learn concrete sculpting.

I like the rock that looks like an elephant.
