NEW TERRITORY:

I have never shown you this part of the garden before. Behind the house I have a large spacious lawn, & this is taken in the top left corner looking across to the pergola on the other side. I have a group of azaleas on the right hand side, bordered by Hostas. (The house, lake & mountains are on my far right.) This bright tree is another Acer Senkaki, caught in the morning sun.

It was a glorious morning but the day is deteriorating as it unfolds. Lots of cloud now. Well done Australia. Bring on Sunday !
