Amen to that. Lovely path Dave For the most part it works. Both the path and the garden have endured. Tonight I got up on a small stepladder and shot a backlit pic of the garden. The red things are bee balm, and they attract the aforementioned bees as well as butterflies and hummingbirds. The tall yellow things in the back are rocket flowers, but they're curling a bit in the 95 degree F temperature. Did I say it was hot? There is some echinacea behind the goose weathervane (Former list member, Belinkoff, who was mentioned by Robb earlier today, was annoyed that I had a weather vane on the ground. But I like it there.) There are some lilies and begonias on the other side of the bed, but they're mostly hidden here. There's a fountain and bench off to the left, which are out of frame, as they must be. since they're in perpetual shade. > > Paul > > http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=13806857&size=lg > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. > -- Documenting Life in Rural Ontario. www.caughtinmotion.com http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ York Region, Ontario, Canada -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
