Garden Tour Part 2

The second home

overlooking the Gold Hills Golf course,

featured a hillside garden.

Out front the owner

had two matching blue

glazed pots, each planted exactly the same. 

 Somewhere

in blog land quite recently

a blog friend gave a general rule

about planting interesting

gardens in pots.

   I can't give credit

but it's one of these blogs

on the right hand side ---->

(can't remember where I saw it.)

Anyway ~ she said to plant:

1. Something spikey

   2. Something rounded

 3. Something trailing

Here's a nice example.

OK, on to the back yard.

I like curvy paths that invite

you to go further to see what's

hidden around the corner.

Here's one of my favorite

features.  The weather worn window frame.

All it needs is a little lift up

with this shepherd's hook.

We weren't allowed

to follow the paths down the steep

hillside.  I can certainly understand why.

We could enjoy the view

from the deck.

 Looking over the golf course.

From Left,

to the center,

and then to the right

which would be looking westward.

Then just around the corner

from the deck,

this peaceful setting

with a water fountain

and the soothing sound of bubbling water.

I think I would like to add

a water fountain to my wish list.

 Next time

I'll share the tea setting.
