I took these this afternoon, but it was full sun so had to miss some shots as it was too bright.

Beautiful Annie. Especially the sea of blue flowers, which remind me of looking out of the many paned windows of my mom's yellow kitchen, and seeing a mass of bluebells in the spring, surrounded by trees and flower beds.
 

My goodness, what gorgeous pictures...I mean I have a "yard"...big for our little suburban enclave...but your yard looks more like a wonderland, I am so jealous;):love_heart:

Thanks. Ooops forgot to be bilingual! LOL. Garden and yard are the same. Our is 1/2 acre.
 
Very nice indeed and a totally different outlook to mine. We started off with what was basically a paddock with waist-high dock and nettles. The previous owner had kept sheep on it to keep the grass short! I would have preferred a 'jungle' and started to cut that back, rather than start with a blank canvas - but we're getting there.

As you can see, my place (the one in the middle) is set amid agricultural land - not the more dramatic scenery that you enjoy. The sea is a few miles to the north of me.

Great photos..

Her is an old slide show of my wife's "Rock Garden" from years past. The garden is not just about gone due to drought and grasshoppers!! She now only maintains a couple of flower beds and planters around the house..

AS - Wow! Now that's a garden! --- beautiful bushes and flowers. That giant leafy thing is amazing and Wiki says it actually is a giant rhubarb from S. America.

This was only a small part of our garden/yard. Hubby is a fabulous gardener. Never knew our gunnera was called a giant rhubarb!
