Santa Barbara's Gardens are blooming!

a little bit of Paradise.....


Spring is almost over and summer is on her way....
visit with me....

my garden is filled with frogs, bunnies, squirrels and lots and lots of birds

come, follow me into my garden and relax a while..


The beautiful Epiphilium flower only lasts a day or so....


listen to the birds...especially the baby birds learning to find their way around



there are lots of places to hide and nest


our neighbor has real chickens...we love to listen to them cluck


this is our token chicken



this bubbling fountain serves as a deluxe bird spa


Peruvian Lillies are still in full bloom..the Monarch butterflies love them



a harvest cherub is watching over his garden's bounty...
 
 

this little cherub is holding a little bird in his hand



a smorgasbord welcomes a pair of mallards, several coveys of quail, every imaginable song-bird, squirrels, bunnies, even unwanted pidgeons and crows



flowers bloom everywhere



cymbidiums are still blooming, as are the roses 


this is just my humble garden....wait till you see some of Santa Barbara's really stunning gardens!
coming soon.....
