Nature's palette - Volume 6 of 6





Full circuit of the house and yard - and full color in the palette!









Completing the circuit around the house and yard, we come back to the north-side (front) of the house



                                        Location 11 – The front porch – looking south-west

This area probably exhibits the most change - as various flowers, ground-cover and shrubs come into bloom at different times. 

                                                                         Late March (2014)



                                                                         Late April



                                                                         Late May


     
                                                                          Mid June

        Not much change - a few smaller flowers (some in pots) now and then; a new door wreath though!. 


Mid July

The Mandevilla vines are getting taller - and of course, a change of flag! 




     Mid-August - the 'Alice View'



                                                                       Mid-September


Back to 'normal' view - for First Day of Fall - note flag change !


Mid-October


Getting ready for all those 'Trick-or-Treat' visitors in a couple of weeks time




                                                                        Mid November

                Trick-or-treating over, frost arrived, killed off the vines, then came the snow - a night view


                               

Mid-December


Looks like a few new 'sproutings' in the front yard! 





Mid-January (2015)

A bleak view of what we hope will not be a bleak New Year




Late-February (2015)

The snow didn't arrive until after Valentine's Day - but the flags were out all month



                                     Location 12 – The north-east corner – looking southward

         Wildflowers at the foot of the River Birch will set a foreground for the view at the side of the garage

                                                                     Late March (2014)



                                                                         Late April


                                                                         Late May


                                                                            Early June



                                                                            Mid July

                              Some wildflowers are beginning to bloom at the foot of the Birch tree






Mid-August - the 'Alice View'




                    Mid-September - 'normal' view

Pink daises are gone - replaced by larger yellow daisies



Mid-October


Mid November

A quick turn of color before the first frost came 



Mid-December

Only 'man-made' growth to be seen now


Mid-January (2015)

It's OK - color will return to the yard before too long.



Late-February (2015)

That's it folks!   The last of 12 photos at each of 12 locations around our yard.

  1. This is a wonderful photo journey of your beautiful home & grounds throughout the seasons! Your house, despite the fact that it is 14 years old, looks brand new! A lot of work goes into caring for a yard & home of this size! You have done an amazing job! I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the drawings & photos, as well as reading the commentary! Well done!
