in the neighbourhood...

Out and about in our neighbourhood, seeing how everything is looking so beautiful again. But I really do have to say, despite the horrible heat and humidity of the summers, the gardeners really do make everything look nice all year round. I just don't like how they trim everything so far back each time. We wait for the trees to grow, and they come and lop them off so drastically. I know, they're training them to be taller before they let them spread sideways, but it's just not nice to see them bare all of a sudden.

 Bougainvillea before the blooms arrive.

 Love this grass and how it sways in the wind. And it always looks fantastic in the evening light.

Heading to school in the morning....as we come down the stairs to the lake level.
