Today ’s pic are from Kathy Fink . She says,“These photos are of my railyard in Arlington , Massachusetts , where I live atop a granite hill west of Boston . The first photo shows the eyeshot from my kitchen window in an afternoon in belated July . The cast of a pruned yew and dwarf ginnala maple by the hut contrast with the sweet sand verbena hydrangea flopping with its heavy blooms . In the screen background , snip barberry and forsythia provide a similar contrast to a small grove of Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree . Funka and Nipponese forest smoke pitcher here and there ring the rounded , crop Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe .
“ To me , using pruned and innate forms in harmony like this says something about how we , ourselves , are part of nature . The yew takes on more grandness in the garden in winter , as on the snow - less February day in the next two photos . Bare branch and melting snow render their own symmetrical shapes in the last picture . ”
Beautiful , Kathy ! And so overnice to see snow in the middle of August .
