No wonder that the people who lived in nature rather than houses and offices felt that they were not separate from it. I am amazed how deeply I am drawn to the plants and animals around me when I am out in nature.
I enjoyed this post. I understand what you mean about surprises in the garden. Sometimes there are small disappointments, but then there are these moments where you witness things that are so beautiful and unexpected in both the plant and animal kingdoms. 🙂
All those little garden surprises … that’s a bit of magic right there, isn’t it? Love them all, especially that industrious ant bringing his/her find back to the nest.
I love little surprises as well in my garden. I remember looking at those “hanging squash” in amazement last year. I need to try that. Now to get the man to build me an arbor 🙂
Well-behaved gardens, like well-behaved children, never turn out to be as interesting as those that may stray:).
Hah! I hear you.
Your garden is certainly full of life and energy…like a kindergarden class, it’s messy and unpredictable and willful, but full of joy
Kinda like life – if we’re lucky.
Oh, I like it too! What a wonderful and lively garden you share with the other creatures!
Yes, yes! Except when they are eating our veggies!
They do keep you guessing!
Indeed.
I wouldn’t dream of having a well behaved garden…far too predictable 🙂
You made me smile.

We are all related somehow, Aggie!
Remarkable photographs… Truly beautiful, dear Cynthia… Best wishes. Aquileana 😉
Thank you, on behalf of the artist.
Great post. Because gardens are living things, they are full of surprises and not predictable. And usually the surprised are good.
Well said.
I love those surprises!
Me too!
I remember this post! 🙂
Thanks, Ines!

Yes, Jeanne. There’s magic, for sure.

Good luck!
Wonderful, happy pictures. I love the blushing peony and the lovely hosta circle round the tree.
Thank you, Hilary. Wishing you a good week.
