More garden photos from 8/28/16.

This one again for a reference point.




Now, if you turn around 180 degrees while on the deck in the last photo, you get the view in the this photo. Beyond the fence is a steep hillside down to Strawberry Creek.




If you follow that flagstone pathway you come to a gate going behind the old bird aviaries. Back here, behind the potted begonia is a concrete wall with planting pockets I'd made for the birds. Beyond you might be able to make out the shade structure. (This takes the place of a hot house here.)




This is looking through the shade structure. If you go past this entrance you come to what used to be the circle lawn. To save water this is now a circular flagstone courtyard.




A short ways past the circle courtyard is a short flight of stairs up to this small raised deck. From here you can look out on the creek below as it flows through the park and then behind our place. Our lot actually continues 15 feet more down to the creek but I have the fence set back to where the lot is level.




Coming back down the stairs you come again to the circle courtyard where we served tea today. Through the opening to the right you might be able to see the blue fountain.




If you panned to the left in that last picture you'd get this view down what I call the "back path". It goes all the way to the birches in the corner.

Congratulations to those of you who stayed awake through the entire tour. The rest of you need to wake up and go home.
