Summertime Pretty!

[sparrow13]

Here's a pretty pic from my yard. Anyone else have any pretty or fun summer pics to share?

Nice! I have pics to share, but too inept to do so! Pathetic, I know......

Very nice. I love Bee Balm...I moved in October to a house that had only 3 bushes for the land scape in the back yard. I had to start from scratch. My bee Balm is just starting to flower. I can't wait for everything to fill in.

How beautiful and peaceful Sparrow! I love it! Looks like a fantastic place for yoga or meditation!

My yard, not so much - that includes my whole neighborhood! I'm hoping someday soon!

Your garden is beautiful! Love the red beebalm.

I love to garden!! This is one of my gardens...

Very pretty! I wish I knew more about gardening.

Here's mine. The 1st & 3rd are the backyard. Notice I actually have no yard, just plants. The 2nd is the front yard (again, no yard). The 4th is a pretty rose that lives in the backyard and shelters a bunny family. DH is the gardener, and therefore the photographer. He prefers close ups of the flowers instead of shots of the whole garden (???????) To each his own, I guess. I can't figure out how to make the pictures big, so I attached them as thumbnails.

Beautiful gardens, everyone! They look so pretty and inviting. Great idea for a thread.

I've attached a picture of our deck. It overlooks a pond, so we like to sit out at night with some candles and listen to the geese, ducks and bullfrogs. My husband gets all the credit for the flowers!

Attached are a few from my vegetable garden and front courtyard.

I love summer!

Here's a picture of my Mimosa trees (hope I spelled that right).

Sparrow, that looks like the most peaceful place on earth, the picture made me calmer just looking at it, I wish I had that kind of talent.

Beautiful!!! Thanks, everyone, for sharing your pictures!! I'd share mine but gardening is not one of my talents.

 

[sparrow13]

These are all gorgeous!! Keep them coming!

And I have to confess that I did not create my garden, the previous owners did, at least the wife did. I know it was a tremendous labor of love for her. My part is to keep it going. I've added a couple of things but the magic belongs to her.

I know she was so disappointed to leave - they had to sell - and I promised her I would take good care of the place. If she ever drives by I hope she sees that I am.

Great thread Sparrow!

Beautiful gardens everyone! I love seeing all the different styles.

We did a lot of garden renovation/redesign this spring.

Here's our veggie garden and our newly redesigned and expanded flower bed, and one of our pond at sunset (from last year).

Sparrow, I want to see a picture of your chickens!

Sparrow, I want to see a picture of your chickens!

Ask/receive yadda yadda

Betsy and Ruby

The girls relaxing by the back door. They like to peck the door to let me know they are there. Then they settle in and wait for food.

Pearl, my first and favorite.

 

[Gayle]

Those look like some happy birds!

 

[spyrosmom]

What pretty chickens! I espcially like the spotted/speckled one. Don't tell Pearl, I don't want to hurt her feelings

Living in the desert (its 110' today) this thread was a breath of fresh air! Thank you all for sharing your beautiful pictures. We are stuck in the house most of the year and I dream of on day having a garden.
