Default My garden

Lets call this a pictorial view of my garden.

Situated on the souther side of Princess Royal Harbour Albany, my garden isn't very large and very poor soil salty winds are a real problem.. But on the positive side.. plenty of bugs and wild life.. In the vegetable garden I don't use any chemical sprays .. many bugs visit but never cause much of a problem.;



First sign of summer.. you know summer is on the was when this little guy starts making a noise.

Another picture soon UW

Hi UW,
like that little Bug!
Albany ? I have fond memories of that place. I was there 10 years ago on a trip around Down Under. I remember loads of wild flowers down there.
Actually took quite a souvenir back from Albany, I bumped into what has turned into Mr Shetty. Now we have decamped up here to the Shetlands. So I know all about windswept and saltair
Wellcome to the forum

These are some very beautiful snaps. I really loved taking a look at those. All the snaps have been intelligently taken, it just takes me to the farm and just have the feel of the fresh air there. The snap of the insect was the best one. It looked really fascinating and the level of the clarity just increased the pleasure of watching the insect, the best shot of the nature at its best.
