Thanks DAL and germaine. I am glad you like the photo.
It seems only few people pay attention to the section of photography.

Maybe we need to post more photos.

I can almost smell it's perfume. I have a climing rose in my back garden just like that but just in the bud stage.

Parahandy, What a pleasant coincidence! I suppose we are going to enjoy watching lovely rose soon.

Ren.......This is a photo of my front garden (yard) with a little help from Xara.
It's a digital photo taken with a rather poor camera

Whoops…It is a lovely garden full of life and vitality. Parahandy, Did you spend much time taking care flowers in there?

Not a lot of time 'cos the planting is so dense, weeds don't get much chance to grow. and there is about 4 inches of gravel on top of the earth. The plants? are bush and rambling roses, heathers, conifers, azaleas, rhododendrons,geraniums of all kinds, hydrangeas,various bushes,polyanthus, ground cover plants, poppies, annuals,hostas,tropaeolum speciosum,bluebells,clematisand of course all the spring bulbs.
I started the garden 52 years ago and gradually built it up and despite having no room, I still buy the odd plant and find a home for it.

Parahandy, it sounds that you are having a mini botanic garden in natural condition.
Perseverance and patience for 52 years! That is amazing. My warmest regards to you.
