Title: The Garden in August
Post by: Palustris on August 07, 2004, 11:48:04
Here I go again. This is the garden yesterday. Thought I had better get it photographed before the projected gales and driving rain flatten it all.
There is actually more colour than there appears to be. The camera seems to 'wash out' a lot of it. Perhaps some camera buff can explain, in very simple terms why that is.

What a breath of fresh air, Eric. Not quite as you saw it in some? I know what you mean - we all get it - why? No one would notice. And your close-ups are always brill! = Tim

That’s a lovely big garden you have Eric and not a boundary fence in sight, how big is roughly?

Roy ;D

Glad you like it Roy, the area is between 2/3rds of an acre and 3/4rs. Not sure exactly and it is a funny shape so very hard to measure.

Every time I look at your garden I get greener and greener Eric - how do you manage to keep all your lawns looking so emaculate - we have our work cut out just keeping two looking good.

Wonderful - as always :)

And I got into bother for not waiting until Anne had cut the lawns, which are mainly clover. Distance lends enchantment!

 Eric the photos are great.
What a beautiful garden you have. You both must work very hard to keep it looking so nice.  10/10 for beauty. Mary.
