Home, sweet home (I)

Posted by Michael (Wuppertal, Germany) on 29 January 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

Now, for something completely different: With this series I would like to show you some shots around the place where I live- especially our little garden. Did I say little? Its about 500sq meters. About in the middle is a small rose garden- the most favoured place of my wife. She cant wait until its getting a little warmer to start the work!

The entire garden is much bigger- our´s begins just behind the big tree in front of the picture. Unfortunately the tree no more exists. After we had a storm it has to be cut down.

Due to my work I am not able to answer your posts at once- but be sure, every of your highly appreciated comments is read! I will always have a look to your pictures at aminus 3- even there might no be a post underneath!

Ein stimmungsvolles Foto mit dem Baum im Vordergrund und dem Licht und Schatten in der Mitte, sehr gut!

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

You have such a beautiful garden, I really like the way it is layed out with places to sit in the sun and shade. It must be a lot of hard work to keep it looking so nice, but well worth the effort.

@MaryB: Thank you, Mary! I will pass your compliment to my wife... she has made a lot of the work. I am just for the
rough things- mowing the lawn and cutting the old branches ;-)
This spring we have to plant some roses around the gazebo. Perhaps some Rambler...we will see.
