I am sharing the last of the photos I took at the Upper Garden, at least until I get there another time.  No more narrative, just the photos.

    I have always said that I wanted to plow up my backyard and plant nothing but wild flowers. Cone flowers and Black Eyed Susan would look great in my plowed up back yard (in my mind).....but alas, that would mean more weeding! haha....Great photos. Very, very pretty.

    Sometimes words are not needed as the pictures speak for themselves.
    All of these photographs are speaking good, happy thoughts.
    They are all beautiful.

    All the best Jan

    "Just the photos" is enough sometimes. Especially when they come from your camera. I had a happy wander. Thank you.
