MY NEIGHBORS GARDEN<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Opportunities ~ they exist everywhere, one must be but willing to acknowledge them . . . . . .<\/p>\n

Today is no exception for me. Mail is delivered to my house at various times throughout the day, it depends on the carrier assigned by the postal service – true for any postal route, right? For my condo sub-division, there seem to be about 3 different carriers during any given week.<\/p>\n

Today, mail came in a little after 3:00pm and I just happened to be near the mailbox at the time. I received two letters that belonged to my neighbors, one of which I have met and worked with in the past, the other I have never met. Easy, I simply redirect the letters to their rightful owners.<\/p>\n

Upon delivering the letter to the neighbor I had never met, I discovered her wonderful garden and the many whimsical decorations that adorned it . . . and I fell in love with it! To the point where I was bold enough to ask her if I could photograph some of the things in her garden. She was very agreeable, and I went back a little later when the sun was not so contrasty. Here are some of the treasures I found . . .<\/p>\n

\"a

a bejeweled stained-glass butterfly<\/p><\/div>\n

\"a

a wired dragonfly<\/p><\/div>\n

\"a

a whirly-gig butterfly<\/p><\/div>\n

\"same

same whirly-gig, just a different angle and rendition<\/p><\/div>\n

\"a

a blue crystal ball<\/p><\/div>\n

\"a

a close-up of the blue crystal ball - if you look close, you can see my reflection in it<\/p><\/div>\n

\"a

a pair of rusted steel garden shoes<\/p><\/div>\n

\"same

same pair of garden shoes - they just look very uncomfortable<\/p><\/div>\n

\"wired

another wired dragonfly, ready for take-off<\/p><\/div>\n

\"yet

yet another dragonfly, rusted in place and the paint long since disappeared<\/p><\/div>\n

. . . and just think, I would have missed all of this had the mailed been delivered correctly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
