My new camera allows me to capture most of our front yard in a single picture. I took the picture above was taken yesterday afternoon from the road in front of our house. Our pink dogwood tree is on the left and one of our redbud trees is on the right. The containers along the driveway contain roses and you can make out two of our rose beds on either side of the driveway near the house and flagpole.

This picture of the dogwood tree branches was taken from the front of the house looking toward the road.

I also took this picture of the redbud tree from the front of the house. It’s near the road, but it the prettiest of the two redbud trees that we have.

Betsy and I built this flower bed a couple of years ago to handle an erosion problem on the side of the house. Now we’re enjoying these tulips. The house in the background is on the other side of the fairway.

George, your yard is lovely. Great rewards for hard work or a labor of love. I think I will get a small pink dogwood for a new area up by the road at my house. MB
