My Wild Garden

 

The joy of a new camera is a new perceptive. Here are some shots of my wild garden.

  Backyard 2013

There is an underground spring winding it’s way though the back yard.  Too wet to plant a garden and the grass is always green all summer long.

The critters sharing the sun but not the chair in the back patio.  The patio is a foundling that was covered with an inch of turf when we moved in.

Spiders are plentiful here.  We use no pesticides nor blanket herbicides. They can rebuild the web in less than an hour. 

 

Dinner for the deer 001

The deer freely use my neighbors yard as a dinner table.  It works for them as the fawns are growing.
