I don't get decent large-view photos very often, but these came out pretty decent. It's ever-changing as the season progresses. I should mention this is my back yard, not the front.
This one's where the big curve starts, at the shed, across the boardwalk, then winds all the way around the other shed (not shown).

PianoLady you have a magnificent house there and the boardwalk is very intriguing. I just want to walk across it and heard the wood beneath my feet  Is it a new addition to your garden?

It's not new, but we added about 6' to bring it to the end of the carport this year. Hubby has some info on it at his website: http://www.matadorcoupe.com/seebee65/Boardwalk.htm
I have a garter snake living under it. He loves the cover no doubt. I often hear him rustling in the leaves under the boardwalk.

What a welcoming house - I love the boardwalk too, you make me want one.  What type of tree is that near your windows?

Thanks, I should add this is the back of my house, kind of hard to tell.
That's a willow tree by the windows. It should be about its full height now.

When I first looked at your photograph my thoughts were peaceful and soothing. I can just picture myself sitting looking over your lovely garden - watch out if you see a tent pitched on your lawn it might just be me!!!!! LOL

Mmmmm.... I smell bread baking in the kitchen, and can taste the fresh mint iced tea I'm drinking while sitting on your deck... the grass feels sooooo soft underneath my bare feet, and flowers - oooooh, the simple beauty of the flowers is well - overwhelming.
Thank you for sharing (I'm ready for my home made bread now, please).

Actually, our relatives do bring their campers up here and park it in our driveway for the weekend. He's considering adding a power hookup out there.
