Drops Of Time Caught In The Mist Garden Facades


Top Garden South     Note - Shagbark Hickory in background wearing Climbing Hydrangea 


Top Garden Flowing into Middle Terrace


Columbine on Middle Terrace






Blueberry Field

Looking from under Apple (needing pruning) towards Middle Garden - one week or so ago 

Peonies in Middle Garden - now blown open




Wounded Native Black Cherry 'Michael's Tree'  - North Field

North Garden and Farmhouse from North Field

In the fog again
walking about the garden
misty mysteries 

Arachnid weavings 
cloaks cast out to catch a meal
bedazzle the eye

Webs of wondrous forms
meshes of mist wear danger
butterflies beware

White flowers glimmer
landscape of ghostly trunks glow
dense water droplets

In and Out of Fog, Sun and Shrubberies

Looking up towards Top Garden . . . Fading Lilac (brown now soon to be cut) Magnolia ever bloomer

Miss Kim Lilac over towards 'Three Graces' Crabapples and weeping Japanese Maple


Tree Wisteria (somewhat) looking over towards sad old shed





Tiger Swallowtail sipping from Korean Lilac

Tiger Swallowtail drinking the last of the Lilac nectar



Days become longer
through sun and rain fog remains
casting crystal globes

Blossoms unfurling
bright blazing heat and rainfall
painting bloom parade

Reaching for summer
busy birds and butterflies
life of a garden

Suspended in time
flowers and being are one
grateful for this way
