This is so perfectly perfect Gainesville. The porch surrounded by trees, the plants, the furniture covered in cool fabrics. What elevates this photo from 'someone's porch' to 'the art of the porch' for me is the platinum and grey cover on the swing and the rainbow colors of the other, both adding that eclectic feel so characteristic of this university town. "Gainesville is so lush," observes the photographer. I just want to be on that porch with my book and my glass of wine. "Is that a painting or a photo?" my husband asked. "It looks like a painting." It does.
