Every month, Heather at Xericstyle invites us to post long shots of our yards so we can see how they change over the seasons (and boy do mine change - it makes me realize that I need to add some statuary, or bird baths or something to my side yard). I also feel compelled to point out that I took these photos after I did the mowing AND weed whacking (Shawn was in London, but the weed whacking almost never gets done because we don't have a long enough power cord - which is why my coworker loaned his to me). It seems like this is about the ONLY thing I'm doing consistently. I don't know why that is - I mean, I did make garden goals for the year, those included participating in monthly photos like Wide Angles, Bloom Day, and Foliage Follow Up. I have been severely negligent in doing Bloom Day and Foliage Follow Up and I don't know why that is. As mentioned above, this month I was in Paris over Bloom Day and Foliage Follow Up. But I did take pictures of flowers on Bloom Day (we were at Versailles), and I did take some Foliage only photos on the 16th (we were at Parc Monceau). We'll get to that when we get to that...maybe.
Anyhow - Wide Angles for July.
