Return...

So, it's been a somewhat crazy 6 months. I hope not to disappear like that again!

This past weekend, we spent a couple of hours at our neighborhood's Garden Walk. It's impressive how small City lots can be transformed into beautiful and/or restful garden sites! Here are a couple of our favorite pics from the day:




This first garden is tucked away in a backyard with a high fence. The koi pond is framed by the very tall juniper pictured - it's an amazing use of a very small space.




The second garden is practically underneath a turn of the El tracks. In addition to the pond pictured, there's also a stream that wends through the yard, a substantial vegetable garden, and a patio/gazebo with a built-in firepit. Nice! (and almost enough to counteract the rattling trains passing nearby...)
