A Walk in the Forest

Magic purple carpet in Belgium and 

the haunting moss swamp of Romania are just two 

examples of Mysterious Forests from Around the World

Where is the Garbage Can?

An urban garden that artfully puts the 

(1) Garbage can

 (2) Recycling bin

          (3) Air conditioning unit

in its place...out of sight!

Before

   
 (4) Native shrubs provide privacy screening.

            (5) Elegant limestone curbing eliminates soil erosion.

Spring? YES!

We've made it - SPRING!

 The frozen soil will give way to new life forms.

This daff was born
during the long winter months.
Hand-made.

The Reveal

Strange and unexpected gifts surface 
as the snow melts.

ONE of those breakout moments

Beat up, 

bedraggled, 

and almost broken by winter...

a rhododendron shrub is starting to bud.

Yes. 

This is a sign.
Only nine days till the first day of Spring!

Desert

A palm tree, a chaise lounge and a cocktail with

a paper umbrella is just around the bend.

First Snow

Detail capture from a Northern Ontario forest.

White Solid

This holly shrub was a rescue. 
Happy to see it flourish in the winter garden today.
