Mom’s Garden revisited 1

Some of my “older” blogging friends may recall one of my previous posts Mom’s Garden.

I recently returned to Mom’s garden to take some more snaps.

She has not been well recently and has not been able to give the garden any attention, but I still think her garden is an interesting and stunning hideaway; a gem!

Photo 3 below is my absolute fairy-tale favourite. Do you have a favourite and if so which one? Please let me know.

Mom’s garden

During a recent visit to my mom I dropped into the back garden to see who was there.

A happy couple was seated under the bird bath.

A fierce lion was soaking up the rays.

This little fella was taking a well-deserved break.

There was also a: a lonesome swan.

A dangerous crocodile.

A cheerful little man.

A pair of frogs.

Otter with a claimed fish.

Mom otter and her little one.

Morning dew.

Last photo before home-time.
