Dawn writes: "This pond is
around the corner from my home. I like to go there and just take in
the air. On this Fall day, it felt as if it were a secret hideaway.
When taking the shot, I knew it was going to be a great one. I enjoy

Linda Favre
Long Beach,
MS
|
Linda writes: "I love
Brugmansias aka Angel's Trumpet. One year, I planted them down the
porch so we could enjoy the aroma of them as we sat on the porch in the
evening. As you can see, they grew so big, they formed a 'brug
wall'. We did enjoy them and still do...along with the night-flying
hummingbird moth." (Sent to us March, 2002). |

PHOTO CONTEST WINNER

Margaret
Owens
Quincy, MA
|
Margaret writes: "Our
yard is small and has a lot of shade. We love Gardening with
perennials the best, and have learned to work with varieties that suit our
conditions. Hostas are a great choice for small areas (they're not
aggressive spreaders), and they make wonderful subjects in pictures with
their color variations, veining, and layering effects. Some of our
favorite pictures have them as the backdrop, with colorful cupid's dart or
lavender in the foreground. This picture features a pretty pink wood
geranium." |

Janice
Minter
Corpus
Christi, Texas
|
Janice writes: "This
is one of my favorite photos of my Dad at his watergarden. He built
it around an old spring fed creek bed at his ranch in central Texas.
It encompasses about an acre in area and is surrounded by huge 200 and 300
year old Spanish Oak trees which he still climbs around in and prunes at
75 years old. The old watergarden has been a labor of love and and
is one of the reasons he stays so healthy. I visit as often as
possible and love working in the garden with him. One of the things
I enjoy most about this photo is the way the oak limb arches over and
frames Dad examining a small plant at the watergarden." |
