This is such a great series, Jim. The photographs remind me of memento mori paintings. They are beautiful in their own way. I hope to see more of them in the future.

Your writing is excellent as always.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the comments. I have 5 years of these things, they compost changes as the season changes, but also in how expertise develops in the community. It’’s a remarkable thing to watch.

Loved this Jim! Made me smile. I have been working on a project centred on an allotment just down the road from me for about 18 months. Fascinating. I have photographed a few compost piles during that time but yours are another level! Nice work.

Thanks! It’s 5:18 am and, yes, I’m off to the allotments already.

(Those poor flowers 🥺.) But your images are fascinating.

Thanks. The pile and I have become friends.
