This series is a photo essay of
one year in the life of the Gardens at
Waters East. Each and every
photo was taken at the property of the gardens over the course of one year
giving an “overview” of the many faces
and expressions found in the Gardens
at Waters East. Photos are labeled the month they were
taken. Hope your “year” visiting
here today brings you joy from flowers, sun, water, and more.
Enjoy your time – Once

I need some of that snow right now. Been missing Wisconsin lately. Actually this time of year, I always feel a really strong pull to go home. I think it might be fall that does this. My favorite months were always September, October and November. When I say favorite I mean to say that I wrapped myself in everyday of the weather, leaves and road trips. It was sad for me when those months ended and cloud cover took over in the winter. Your photos are always gorgeous and strong reminders of why I loved growing up on the lake. We'll meet one of these days when I return home. Family tends to take up much of the time but I'll work something out so that we'll be able to visit. I am so envious you get to experience fall!!! Enjoy the gardens before they sleep. My favorite this time of year is the Autumn Sedum. I think it's cool because of the way it reminds me of my desert garden here with the cacti and succulents. Those thick leaves are incredible. Break a piece off and let it grown. One time I brought them back home to Tucson and put them in my garden and it grew for a time!! All my best. Chris
ReplyDeleteIt was 38 this AM and I spotted the snow before I saw January!!! The photos are beautiful as always.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a photo representing each month in the garden...really stunning.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful garden all year long. Lovely photos, Jack !
ReplyDeleteNice! I'm not ready for the white stuff, but I must admit your winter scenes are pretty, too.
