An Earthly Paradise

Once upon a time I lived in the country and had a big garden with two streams in it. Now I live in a five hundred year old house in the middle of the city so I was very happy to be invited to spend the day at a friend's house out in the country.

Looking out of the small garden towards the olive orchard.

Oranges in January...........

Geraniums chosen with care at the garden center, waiting to be planted.

Bougenvillia at the garden center to grace a wall or roof top.

Looking up towards the mountains.
