Nature's palette - Volume 5 of 6




Sometimes, you just have do without - but not here; even in Winter there should be some color on the palette!

Fortunately, there is ALWAYS color in my garden.






Turning the corner, to look from the north-west, we start to see the first glimpses of the front of the house



Location 9 – The north-west corner – looking east

Just watch the transformation on those 'Burning Bush' shrubs (center and right) - also on the Flowering Cherry Tree (left) - the Japanese Beetles just love its leaves in late June!  

Late March (2014)



Late April



Late May


Mid June

   A lot of bird chattering from that Cherry Tree lately and the flowers around the small lilacs are blooming


Mid July

                               Looks like its time to turn on the water hose - things are drying out.




Mid-August - the 'Alice View'


Mid-September

Back to 'normal' view - First Day of Fall



Mid-October

Watch for those bushes to start turning as if on fire!


Mid November

That's why they call them 'Burning Bushes'


Mid-December

The usual very colorful burning bushes became 'embers' very quickly this year


Mid-January (2015) 

Sorry ladies - don't have all 50 shades of gray here!



Late-February (2015)



                     Location 10 – The north-west corner and house front – looking south-east   

The most shaded part of the garden – but lots of colors from flowers as the year progresses - and there are those Flowering Cherry Trees again

Late March (2014)



Late April



Late May


Mid June

As the Cherry's leaves turn reddish, they'll be a haven for Japanese Beetles. Daisies bloom under the Ash.


Mid July

The pink Mandevilla vines on the porch pillars have take off like rockets! 




Mid-August - the 'Alice View'


Mid-September

First Day of Fall - leaf colors starting to change


Mid-October

They call it 'Fall' for a reason - leaf raking time! 



Mid November

         A different view for a change - about 7:30 pm- with a dusting of snow



Mid-December

Not a leaf to be seen - except on the holly bushes and ground-cover


Mid-January (2015)

Believe it not, the sun did appear an hour or two later.



Late-February (2015)

Not a cloud to be seen
