Wild Garden

This garden shot in evening glow, deceivingly makes my garden look mature and filled in. I put some long hours into it, and can "imagine" it has paid off. The bees and butterflies look happy; and as I post, a mated pair of pigeons have flown in and are contentedly pecking around. Gabe exclaimed over their arrival, and they have not yet flown even while he stalked them a bit.

Dwarf Butterfly Bush

The garden has weathered the heat despite the drought in our week-long absence. I've lost the new additions of summer blooming heather and another little shrub. The Butterfly Bush blooms have dried, but an abundance of little orange butterflies are fluttering happily around the purple sage and lavender.
