Photos: House Yard

Today I took pictures around the yard. It's cloudy, so the lighting is bad, but so much is happening that I wanted to capture it. See the House Yard, South Lot, Savanna, and Prairie Garden.


As I was heading outside, I spotted this pair of house finches at the hopper feeder. The picture is murky because I shot through the kitchen window.

Your various 'gardens' are charming. It's finally starting to get green and flowery here, whew.

I like the serene sculptural elegance of the striped Purissima tulip against the angled stack of cinder blocks.

The barrel garden, with its jaunty skewed angles and ring of spring flowers, has the air of a children’s picture book cover. (I suspect you’d maintain a Lost And Found for any stray rabbit-sized blue jackets with brass buttons.)

The violets are pervasive and awaiting their turn to bloom.
