Needless to say I have not posted lately because the garden is looking haggard after a summer of excessive heat and prolonged periods of no rain. Recently we went on vacation to Hawaii for ten days and returned to a withered, burned out, sun scorched garden. It never occurred to me that it would not rain at least once while we were away and I forgot to tell our daughter to water the plants if it did not rain. I do not blame her in any way as she took wonderful care of the four dogs, three cats, and a fish tank while we were on vacation. Apparently we had some of the hottest weather of the summer while we were away. Anyway, a lesson was learned that will be remember in the future.
This past weekend I planted 160 Tulip bulbs along with some pansies on both the deck and in the beds with the tulips. I plan to plant a 100 daffodil bulbs this coming weekend. I've also been cleaning out some beds and doing some tidying up before the weather turns cold.
Recently I found a website that allow you to put an artistic twist to photos. It is a really fun website that is free but can be upgraded for a small monthly fee. The website is befunky.com Here a few photos from gardens that I played with and wanted to share.
Water Lillies
Garden Bench
Tree Sculpture
Wind Sculpture
Birdhouse
Allee
The Bridge
Cat in the Arbor
This is a fun program and allows you to use your imagination and put a different twist on your photos. I personally like the effect above which makes your photo look like a painting with an impressionist flair.
Anyway, give it a try.
