The late July overall garden photos

In the wake of the family visit to Chilliwack last week end I'd put some family photos into a Google Photos folder for them. Since a couple of them are interested in gardening and flowers, I included some recent overall garden photos as well. However they haven't made it onto the blog where everyone can see what Linda has accomplished this year. Things got off to a bit of a late start, but have been doing great just recently. No shortage of sunshine...

And around to the right.

Further along the house.

The back garden from the gate.

Back door, with 4 more pots.

Our back patio eating area.

The lodge. There's another windobox on the other side. You can just see the glass sculpture here.

From the back of the garden bed looking toward the gate, featuring lilies.

From beside the barbecue, featuring delphiniums.

Between the houses featuring an ambitious clematis trying to invade the attic.

Between the houses looking toward the back. Some of you might remember the wild Alberta rose that is where the iron thingie is. It's still there, plotting it's return from the underground lair where it lurks.

Film, but first a pre COVID serendipity. Pretty sure this is Auckland museum. 

GW690 Kodak Gold 200, f8 1/125. I love the colour, but in hindsight I should have gone to f11 1/60 and got a bit more of the mint in better focus.
