A SUNNY SATURDAY

These were taken the other day over at Emily's. I have a number of good photos of various flowers that I'll be running in future posts, but today I wanted to show Pasha the kitty......half of their family's darlin's. Nicki is the other half but she was out exploring in another part of the garden. I caught him here just as he was rubbing up against the side of the house. Doesn't he really look like that feels sooooo good?? Right after this he meandered over my way to smell my kitty on my leg and accepted a few pets and scratches.

This white camelia was so pretty. I think the flowers are treated with the same loving care as the kitty's because everything looked happy and well care-for. Thriving, really. It's a beautiful garden, with many little 'garden rooms' as you follow the various paths. It's very serene and calming. Being right on the ocean like it is, you'd think it would be fairly beat-up by the winds and salt air but natural wind barriers have been either erected or planted with much forethought. Come to think of it, this would make a good article for Sunset Magazine or one of the others. I'm looking forward to seeing the garden change as the seasons deepen and change.
