Savage Garden - part Three


As the fall season moves further along, the “bugs” have come to the Gardens at Waters East for the final fling of the season.  Hundreds and hundreds have been showing up here, there and everywhere.  They must love what they find – because they are spending lots of time in lots of places.

This is the third and last in a series of three postings documenting many (but not all) of the “bugs” and more that have been sighted here recently.  Up close, some of them look rather frightening.  On that I think we can agree!

Enjoy the company as you wander the gardens today.

Seasonal Contrast in the Garden #14


Postings in this ongoing series will show the same garden “area” and “objects” at two or more different times / seasons of the year.  The contrast will offer the viewer an appreciation of the beauty found in the same spot but in different months.  Some of the photos have never been seen before, others were collected from earlier postings in order to provide the needed contrast.  Each season has its own “feeling”, has its own  beauty.  Here is the "old clay pot" along the driftwood fence.

Enjoy








Reference Note:  If you check out the archives for this Blog, you will find a number of “contrast” postings in this series.  All help in understanding the gardens throughout the year.

NOTE:  All photos use in this posting were taken on the property of Gardens at Waters East.

 Even the baby Groundhog was a savage.
He thought the garden was a "salad bar".
