My son has a drone camera and captured these images of our home and landscape in January. It’s always nice to get a different view of the garden. I’ve numbered various features of note and linked to blog posts where I discuss them in more detail. Sometimes the entire post is about that feature, and sometimes you have to read through the post to find where I discuss it. If, like me, you are waiting for the snow to melt, here’s a way to pass some time. Hope you enjoy it! Note: click on the image to get a larger image.

This is a great way to get a real sense of your property. Looked at some of the older posts where comments are closed. Loved your reference to Julie Moir Messervy as her book and ideas were big guides when we designed our garden.
Yes, comments are automatically closed on older posts because they tend to fill up with spam. I assume you are referring to this post. I also reviewed Home Outside.
What a wonderful view of your expansive oasis there!
Thanks!
I was beginning to think you had stopped blogging. So good to hear from you. I plan to go back and check out some of the links. So ready for winter to be over.

What fun! I would love to see an aerial view of my garden. Yours looks lovely in the snow, which is kind of the point in a Cold Climate Garden.
Most gardens look good with a dusting of snow, and all gardens should look good in every season–they just have to accomplish that goal in different ways. An aerial view certainly helps you see how the different areas relate to each other.
Could your lovely coral Iris be Beverly Sills? Mine is big and blows and sometimes reblooms.
Thank you, Judy, for checking out some of the links. For other readers not keeping up, the iris you are talking about is in the West Deck. I have seen ‘Beverly Sills’ in many catalogs but have never seen it blooming in a garden. The previous owners seemed to get their plants from readily available sources and ‘Beverly Sills’ is pretty common. I will have to search out Beverly Sills. Maybe I will even buy a plant to compare! Thank you for giving me a lead to follow up on.
What a great system. I was showing the changes in the weather in my garden, but it was not so beautifully, completely and fully displayed. You never stop teaching me.
Well, if my son hadn’t gifted himself a drone, I wouldn’t have those photos to start with. I’m glad you find inspiration here, Pat!
