All gardeners live in beautiful places because they make them so.
- Joseph Joubert
My office at work is in an old late 1800's house made into
a Funeral Home. From my very large upstairs window
I can look out into the yard across the street..
which I do often.
Today I see the fruits of the Gardner's labors with
some sunflowers, pink & brown cone flowers,
a dark burgundy dahlia .. and an inviting yard -- all viewed
'over the fence.

As I look out I see some movement and zoom in withmy camera to see a delighted goldfinch stealing some
late afternoon snacks.
late afternoon snacks.
He balances to easily atop of the large sunflower head
I have to go downstairs and out on the porch to get a closer
picture of Mr. Finch with a seed in his mouth
I was having a good ole time just watching as the bird
picks away at the seeds
a paler bird arrives to land beside the other...Strange how
much contrast between the two.
More movement and oh wow! Something else behind the fence
stealing a few seeds for himself.
I loved getting these photographs at work. This year I did
not plant sunflowers and sure do miss the action of the finches.
Hope you enjoyed looking over the neighbor's fence as much as I did.
