Where are we now?


View Where are we now? in a larger map Jo, Annie, Miles and I are living in Northport, Alabama and working at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. We've been glad to be in one place for a bit after what appeared to be semi-permanently traveling (in actuality for a period of 2.5 years).We started this blog to catalogue some of the adventures when Jo and I were sequentially conducting our dissertation research in India and Brazil. While we've fallen off the blogging bandwagon somewhat during recent trips to Brazil, we're trying to pick it up again now that we're back in India!

Tresco Gardens


Tresco Gardens-

I have been over to the privately owned island of tresco three times in the last two days ‘doing research’. On one of those visits I went to see the renowned Tresco Gardens. The reason these gardens are so famous is that, although in England, they enjoy the Mediterranean climate and constant sun (really?) and so are able to grow plants quite easily from all sorts of other exotic locales. It is quite a beautiful place (I’d have to say longwood is more impressive), filled with plants from south America, south Africa and the Mediterranean. As I was walking along it was virtually impossible not to continuously snap photos of all the incredible plants that I came across. At one point I had to tell myself I wasn’t going to take any more photos, and then I would come across another plant the likes of which I had never seen. Some of these photos I have included in this latest link.
