November Review - 2012



The days are getting much colder, even snow has recently fallen.  Winter has begun in the Gardens at Waters East.  The days are shorter.  The sky is greyer and the sun is lower.  Life begins a long Winter’s nap until Spring returns.

Yet, beauty pops up here or over there.  Garden life continues though at a much slower pace.  Sometimes at a “frozen-in-time” pace.  Yet too many flowers are still blooming at this time.

Enjoy this quick review of some never before seen photos from this past month here in the gardens at the shore.

  7. Hello - Denmark i calling :o)
    Thank you for your comment om my gardenblog. You are absolutely right, it seems like we have the same climate og flowers in the garden on each side of the Atlantic Ocean. My garden is close to the sea on the north side of Zealand and as far as I know,Lake Michigan is almost the size of a sea and then the climate is the same. I have heavy clay soil - it is sometimes a bit of a challenge.
    Today I have enjoyed your posts showing so many beautiful iris.

  15. Winter can be so beautiful when the whiteness is dotted by the bright colours of flowers still in bloom. I like the warm colour tones against the whiteness of snow.

  17. Thank you so much for your nice comments on my blog. I have just installed a translator, so I hope you will return to my blog and hopefully be able to read the text. You have a beautiful garden. It´s always inspiring to follow all the different garden blogs.
