Click on the pics for a larger view In Part One of this tour [link], I promised a gorgeous waterfall and pond and lo an behold, I'm delivering the goods. The waterfall is about 15-20 feet tall and really impressive in person: In this short clip, you can see the falls in action and have a view around the farm to the long, long driveway. For those of you who dread viewing a video online or worse still, fear catching some dreaded virtual disease from such an act of faith, fear not. It's harmless and fun. And who knows, it might just open up a whole new world for you. Worst case scenario, I owe you 30 seconds of your life back: This photo gives an idea of the slope behind the waterfall. I think they chose a perfect location, working with the natural grade of the property: Next to the pond there's some wet and dry beds. Dry beds are murder to keep weeded in my yard because of the dry clay soil and the relentless determination of the weeds, but I sure love them in other people's yards: I love sitting areas and think they're a basic essential in most gardens though I confess I have to this day never ever sat in a garden! If I'm there, I'm working or touring, but this does look inviting: Behind this outbuilding there was a massive amount of rusted tools and gizmos and containers, just waiting to be arranged and planted. I think I was so overcome with ideas, I forgot to snap that picture! But here's the front of the building: The homeowners have great junk/plant arranging style: I showed this tree from another side in Part One of the tour. That garden has no bad angles: It's gardens like this that make the long drive out of town so worthwhile. And you have to admit, Ontario Zone 5a is a gardening hot zone. Stay tuned for more inspiration. PS: See Part One of this tour here Have you seen this bird photo?
