Gardens and yard


Some sort of succulent with its flower in my back garden.

This album contains pics of my front and back yards around my house and sometimes the neighbours.

Thank heavens you have a handrail to haul yourself up and down again...I'm exhausted just looking at the steps.

What lovely pictures. The birds are really beautiful too. Must be very refreshing to have such a lovely view from your home.

Beautiful Mel! All that in your yard? So cool!

WOW! If I ever get to Oz, can I stay at your house? I could spend all day watching those beautiful birds! We have plenty of Cardinals, Blue Jays and Bluebirds, but they just aren't the same as parrots and cockatoos. I just can't imagine seeing a flock of them in flight, since my only experience is seeing them in cages or on perces in stores. I guess I need to go to Central/South America, too, to see the Macaws before they're all gone, huh?

WOW - makes the view out my door look VERY tame! I could spend hours watching those beautiful birds!

Thanks ladies - yes all of these pics were taken from my yard (except for two going up shortly that shows the neighbour's rather more well kept manicured lawn - I stepped onto her property to take those two shots). Everything else is in my house and yard or the photo was taken from within my house or yard. You can see why I love this house so much ..... More pics going up over the next few days - {insert expletive of choice here} dial-up connection!

Melissa Hicks said...

I *do* spend hours watching them - was never really interested in our feathered friends until II moved into this house :)

Claire EJ said...

Cracks me up looking at your Gum tree,,,,,makes my little baby one look sooooo titchy small whereas for our back yard, it's a huge thing LOL.
Loving the pictures. I think everyone should do this so we can all see what's where each other lives and what wildlife we all have.

Claire EJ said...

There's a house in there?? really?

Melissa Hicks said...

{LOL} There's actually *three* houses in that photo :)

Claire EJ said...

Er yes, three very well hidden houses.....dunno how you expect us people to know that!! hehehe.....Loving the jungle look, it's so different from here. It just amazes me....<ust take a picture of my baby gum tree later so you can see what a midget version I have LOL

Msg was supposed to say...cute tree. This keyboard bounces too quickly on vowels.
T'ree is of course gender neutral but leans towards the feminine side....will post pics...fat and fluffy....

Melissa Hicks said...

Hector definitely needs a pick me up after tonight !! He would love to see a pic of T'ree before preparing to swap sap :)

Well Hector is adorable - and his name somehow fits. I *do* see why it is you put up with all the hassles; it looks like a gorgeous place to live. [Waves from New York]. Hi Mel's Mum! I'm glad you're both kicking back and relaxing; that's what I'm planning for next weekend!
