Greetings!

Some of you old time Polkies know that I enjoy gardening in the Summer. I have fun with this hobby just as I do with audio. I hope that you enjoy a few photo's from this year's garden.

Shack, what do you think of the new camera images? These are about 2 MB each.

Regards,

    The tonal palette of the pics looks like it came from either a Panasonic or a Nikon. :)

    Thanks Tony!

    Been lucky!! The deer have left my flower gardens alone. They are all over the place! They eat my arborvite shrubs, even in the Summer. That stuff has to taste like ****!

    Beautiful garden Carl. I know it is a joy to come home to at the end of the day. Do you maintain all that yourself or use some hired help or family?
