Back Yard

Water wheel running cascading over slate rocks the water pours fast down the mini waterfall into the large pond below. Gold fish are thriving nine fishes swim in this pond from the gazebo watching them dart in the pond chasing each other around. Raspberry plants grow along with my small garden the potted flowers sit high on my five foot deck where they survey my back yard. Phyllis Babcock Sept 14 2011

thanks Phyllis, the imagery reminds me of my fathers back yard. He was his own Gardner, and kept our gazebo intact. I'm going to take the mini waterfall image and let it cascade all over my thoughts. That way I can reminisce over my younger years. Much delighted, Nathan

Sounds like a lovely garden Phyllis. Love to come see it sometime. I love my large back yard but still long to live in the country where I can get away from the crowds. Great imagery here. God Bless, JB
