believe it or not, i am not showing you the same trees over and over, as new trees blossom i am just awestruck, year after year... flowering cherries, pears and crabapples are full throttle right now~ the grapefruit trees are so heavily laden the ground is covered in yellow. i have 100s of feet of pure white african daises following the sun. a few up and down shots~

Jain, that last picture of the frog....that is how I would feel after spending the entire day in my garden :-) Your gardens and landscaping are truly beautiful, and I know you put all of your heart into it. Thank you SO much for letting me live vicariously through your gardens.

I think I am envious..
It's just an immense feeling of awe.. mixed in w/ ahh why not me too?
It's just all so much more than what I have seen in real life.

Jain..the one w/ the double arch..the light is so pretty!

I have planted those daisies here.. a few bunches.. Nothing to write home about..Look at them there..
Not to mention the grapefruit!

Imagine..

The bench and fence still look pristine!

And Frog Hill is adorably adorned..
Copied and saved ..I have way more pics of you on my computer than of us!
PS I like the view..walking down the path also.
I would feel like a Princess in her domain..gathering flowers in a basket on each side..

Of course that would be w/ Toto following me.

Beautiful, just so beautiful Jain. I cannot even imagine the climbing you do every day, you must be part mountain goat! I love the soft color of the iris. THANK YOU for sharing all of your beauty.

What an amazing sight they are, Jain! You have transformed that California hillside into an Italian villa-esque paradise. I love the color of that iris and the frog table - I love the face on the one in the table on its lilypad :)

Jain, absolutely gorgeous... I love the froggy and his matching table... and irises, are a favorite of mine. Everything is just heavenly. I think you'll be hard pressed to see landscaping and sights any more beautiful than yours in Italy.

Jain these are lovely. You have a gorgeous property and vista. Shock and Awe, Garden Buddy style.

You should put these in the garden forum.
