Beach Garden

Before I got so fond of gardening, collecting seashell was my favorite past time.

Then my friend inspired me to collect sea glass, as well. I love the colored ones.

 

Now that I live away from the beach, I thought of something that helps bring that happy feeling whenever I'm in the beach.

I brought the "beach" feeling in my garden.
I'm happy that I have now a place for my seashells.

The bird bath has got a new look ....

...and my flowers are still in bloom.

In my new house, I have a very little space for my garden.
But I'm just glad that I could still do more with it.

There are no gardening mistakes,
only experiments.

A Rose Is A Rose....

A rose is a rose is a rose!

No matter how defective, flawed, and marred. It remains a rose.....

...and it's still as lovely as a perfect rose.

“But the LORD said to Samuel, 

“Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. 

The LORD does not look at the things man looks at.

Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” ”
1 Samuel 16:7

Butterflies on my Zinnias

Zinnia is my all time favorite flower. All year round I have zinnias in my garden.

This was taken in my garden last year.

Zinnias fill my garden with colors and they also attract more butterflies to it.

This morning, I was amused to see another variety, or is it just a growth abnormality?

Another surprise that my Zinnias gave me was this new garden guest. She was quite energetic and couldn't stay still so I had to use another camera and set it to sports setting so I could frame her well.

Isn't she a beauty? Thanks to my beautiful Zinnias.

You can chase a butterfly all over the field and never catch it. 

But if you sit quietly in the grass it will come and sit on your shoulder.
