The Wet, Wet Garden
After worrying about the rain deficit (we were below normal for April), Mother Nature generously rewarded us with an abundance of rain this past week. I am not going to complain although I do wish it would skip my off-days. Today (Saturday) is an especially wet day. I ventured out briefly and took a few shots. The plants grow so fast from the rain.

I think that having all the fallen petals on the ground is so lovely. It kinds of extends the beauty of the tree's flowering and makes for very mystical pictures.

The pink "snow" is beautiful :)
ReplyDeletePhillip,
ReplyDeleteHello, that is the perfect kind of snow! Lovely photos...we have had lots of ran and my hope is that we can over come last year's drought but some plants are gone forever.

That's the only down side of gardening. The flowers don't last long enough. But that is also what makes them so special!
ReplyDeleteThe beauty may be temporary, Phillip, but it's real! I like the photo of the birdbath - it seems to be calling mythical birds to come for the petals.

Wow, that's nice. Maybe some of my neighbor's cherry petals will blow in to my yard now that he's removed some plants that obstructed it.
ReplyDeleteGod's dandruff.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos Phillip. Your garden looks like an absolute paradise. I would never leave it.
