A Garden Visit

I spent the weekend in Chicago with my sister and her family. Early Sunday morning as I headed out the back door with my camera my sister said "you're not going to find anything to photograph in our yard!"

Like most houses in suburban metropolitan areas, the yards are designed to be used by kids (at one time or another). That means they have a lot of lawn area and beds for other plants are minimal, non-existent, forgotten and neglected, or frequently trampled.

That's somewhat the case with my sister's yard, but there are still a lot of great plants and interesting views there, if you take the time to look.


Here's what I saw when I looked.

So, nothing to see? I really have to disagree.
