I designed it to have something in bloom from mid March when daffodils first come up through early summer. By then my potted annuals on the patio are in full bloom.
I love color.

Stunning works of art. I would frame the second one and hang it on a wall. I've seen pictures in magazines that weren't anywhere near as pretty as those. You have a good eye and a real talent.

I've been in my house for five years and thus had the chance to work on framing these shots against different sunsets for some time.
