Bird's Eye View

I just wanted to share some pictures of my backyard 

taken from up above.

The 'Fire Dragon' Shantung Maple is in full autumn color,

 Check out Metro Maples website to find out about this wonderful tree!!

 Here's a view from down below

Here's a bird's eye view of one section 

of flagstone walkway I recently had installed. 

This represents approximately 3 tons 

out of the total 8 tons of rock added to our backyard.

  

All 65 flats of dwarf mondo have been planted, too!   

Woo hoo!!

Lord willing and my arm heals by this spring, 

I am planning to add to the landscape beds on each side of the walkway.  

I am sad that I missed out on some great fall planting weather, but alas, 

my arm injury persists and I am still the Gimpy Gardener. 

Boo hoo!!

 And a view from down below.

Although this was taken with my feet firmly planted on the ground, 

if I were a bird, I'd like to hang out here :-)

This is a picture of my neighbor's 'Natchez' Crape Myrtle 

in brilliant orange/yellow fall color.  

Even when every leaf is gone, 

this tree is still gorgeous with its cinnamon colored bark.

I hope you're enjoying your garden (or your neighbor's)

...from every view!

 Until next time... 

Toni :-)
