On a random drive through Napa the kids and I found the Cornerstone Festival of Gardens in Napa Valley. The gardens are beautiful and they have many interesting installations but this one, “The Photoshop Tree” I though was particularly interesting.
[box style="quote"]New life was given to a diseased tree slated for removal by decking its branches with 75,000 retrofitted sky-blue Christmas balls. The landscape equivalent of a Photoshop eraser saturated this natural tree with the artificial in a bid for total camouflage. But the opposite result occurred: <em>Blue Tree</em> stood out against the ever-changing sky, becoming a barometer for subtle fluctuations in natural light.[/box]
If you ever get a chance to visit the Cornerstone Festival of Gardens, Napa Valley I highly recommend it. Check out their site at http://www.cornerstonegardens.com/
