Review of the "Popular"



It is time to look back at 2013 and assess which Blog postings were the most viewed.  In this posting, Gardens at Waters East will list the five (5) most visited postings from the past year and in addition, others from the archives from years past that keep attracting visitors year after year.

The five most visited postings this past year of 2013 are:

1.  12/23/13    A Quote – John Muir
2.  12/14/13    Cana Island
(also all the other posts in the series titled “Watershed”)
3.  1/13    Parts 1 – 4 of the series:  Colors in the Dead of Winter
4.  All of the postings titled - - Want a Quickie ? Today
5.  The series titled - - Blog Shots
It seems the last two listed above are really popular with readers of this Blog.  They are short and to the point with photos that people love.  Many many people are checking them out.

Reviewing the archives from the beginnings of this Blog, it was interesting to see which postings are constantly being viewed long after they were first posted.  It seems people liked the following and are recommending them to others.  If you have not seen them yourself, you might like them too.

NOTE:   Since this Blog is meant to be an accurate journal of the gardens;
no photos are “staged”, “arranged”, or ”photo-shopped” in anyway.
What is posted – is what it here.  It is what it is.

  1. I was breathing a sigh of relief this morning because for the first time in 9 days, there is no snow or ice to clear. Your post came in as I was logging on. Absolutely perfect timing. And the composition in the sunrise is spectacular!

  2. Your gardens are stunning no matter what the season. We're in for more cold again, so they say, let's hope it's not as daunting as the last bout.
