...well these photos are of our back yard... as I said above... it's not as fancy-dancy as the front gardens but it still is a bit of a 'work-in-progress' in some parts... we're happy with it anyway lol!...
...this is our back verandah where my sweet darling wife and I sit each morning watching the morning sunrise and watching the birds feeding in our back yard... this is where I do my given physio exercises each morning too...
...this is the garden under a Jacaranda tree and a Muraya tree next to it in my back yard... the square one next to the Jacaranda tree is either a Maple tree or a Liquid Amber tree... (I can never remember which one it is
... lol!)... just a little bit of trivia for you all... that Jacaranda tree grew from a bird dropping many many years ago believe it or not!...
...this is a view from the shed looking towards the driveway... that is my Koi Carp fish pond on the right and the barbecue area is on the left... those metallic doors in the middle against the fence are closet type things for our three garbage bins... that circular brick area is for 2 trays to feed the birds each morning..
...this is looking from the shade house next to the Jacaranda tree down towards the front of our house... that square brick area with the metal grating on top is a submersible water pump to get rid of excessive storm water in the back yard... all that grass area that you see is covering about 7 tons of gravel sunk about 2 feet deep into the ground where a water collection area used to be...
...these are two trees either side of the 'Irish Strawberry tree' are Melaleuca trees that also grew from bird droppings that I transferred from the other side of my garden... bird shit must make saplings grow stronger methinks lol!... as you can see I seem to have a preoccupation for trimming trees into shapes... (mainly balls for some reason lol!)... that terracotta thing on the right hand side is from an old house that was being demolished... it was from the top of one of their chimneys...
...this view is from next to the chair that we sit in each morning and looking towards the plant shade house and Jacarandra garden area... you can also see the barbecue in the barbecue area where I have cooked many meals before... (yum!)... lol!...
...just another shot of those trees from a different angle...
...this is looking from the other end of our verandah towards the Jacaranda tree etc... in the next batch of photos there will be more shots of the pond a bit closer up...
...this is from the end of the driveway looking over to our shed in the other corner of the yard...
...the shed itself and the pond... well... because you can only put 10 photos into the post at one time that is it for this one... more in the next post to come... I hope that you liked them... cheers.
