    Ah, what a lovely shot! It must have been difficult to leave such a beautiful place. Vacations are hardly ever long enough.... We are soon headed to rocky beaches too. I can't wait...!

    Gorgeous scenery, Kathy! I love to see those breaks between sun and fog - they have an ethereal quality.

      You never know what kind of goofy weather you might encounter on the north coast in summer. I always pack a set of winter clothes.

    You know...I just now realized I've always thought of Mendocino and Montecito as the same place. That was stupid!

      You are only a few hundred miles off Loree ! And about 20 degrees in average high temp.

      It's great to be a California Girl, and that is a permanent condition no matter where you may roam.

Cramscape Admiration -Garden Fling 2024

 I admit I love a well done cramscape and the Berk-Kessler garden in Seattle is a great addition to my Cramscape Hall of Fame. In case you are wondering about previous entries to the CHOF , well there aren't any because I have only recently (i.e. yesterday) invented it. I fancy myself to be a cramscaper but have come to the realization in the last year that I am a Cramscape Imposter particularly when it comes to the edges of my garden. The Berk Kessler garden exposed my tepid attempts at packing the plants in. It wasn't long after returning from Puget Sound Fling that I started acquiring, dividing, and moving plants to correct my cramscape failures. Lets take a look at what inspired me in this abundant PNW garden.    I've visited a fair number of gardens public and private in the US. It took me many years to realize that some plants -though perfectly cold hardy-just don't care for my summers here in Northern California wine country. We can grow Cabernet all day but many...

Coastal Maine Botanical..The Childrens Garden

Those who know me well are aware that I am somewhat child-phobic. My own offspring are now grown up-humans, and thrusting myself into situations where I am likely to encounter large herds of small fry is something I avoid. I make exceptions for Disneyland, because well, I love Disneyland. As a Disneyland aficionado I have a strong appreciation for well done 'pretend' environments.Last weekend after my visit to Deannes , I turned the rental car northward and headed for Boothbay Maine for a return visit to Coastal Maine Botanical Garden. My first visit was in July of 2009 , with my Idyll friends on the occasion of our annual summer get-together. At that point the garden had only been open 2 years, but had been in development since 1996. I was ready to return about ten minutes after we drove away in 2009. Since our visit there have been expansions and improvements to the gardens , among them was the Bibby and Harold Alfond Childrens Garden which opened in summer of 2010.   Thou...

 In Ginny Davises' garden plants are incidental, providing calm green relief from the the color blast . Nothing is subdued here-starting with the house .    Not sure I've seen so many cool birdhouses in one place .. A very restrained vignette. Heading up the stairs.
