A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2006 A wonderful visit with Bill at beautiful Cedar Hill (Photo Heavy) 07/16/06

It's taking forever for my computer guy to get the video edited & resized so it'll fit in PhotoBucket, but I figured out how to capture frames from it, so I'll add a few here!

Critters of all types can be found at Cedar Hill... either finding sanctuary, setting up housekeeping, or just browsing through.

A mommy Robin chose the serenity of the Hummingbird House to build her nest, where she could snuggle up on her clutch of speckled eggs.

There were three babies in the nest when we were there... but one chose to take a nap during our photo shoot. (Bill tells me that they've since taken wing.)

This beautiful water feature includes a resident bug control manager...


His name is "Dude"!

I think he looks like a friend of Cindy's!

cute pictures Patty!

Much of the beauty of Cedar Hill has been provided by Mother Nature, and Bill has introduced many other plants to compliment her efforts.

Here are the huge leaves of a Rodgersia ...


...whose blossoms looked like dainty little stars!


Shelly was impressed with the Bay leaves, & should have taken some while she had her hands on them, but that thought didn't occur to her until later!

She was thrilled to find them in her mail box, after Bill sent her some!

(Thanks for the links, Bill!)

A beautiful setting for the lily pond is found not far from Bill's gardens.


... and the Water Lilies are absolutely beautiful!

Several people have asked where the picture is, of Bill & I!

OK, OK!


By popular demand....

...here we are!

thank you for a great "visit"

Thank you!

More great pics Patty!

Nice, Patty!

Pictures from the back are almost just as good as pictures from the front!!! At least we see something of both of you!

I finally had a chance to get on and actually read this thread! Thanks so for sharing your visit with us all, Patty.

I'm sure the real beauties of Cedar Hill and it's owner can't truly be captured on film, but it sure was fun getting another peek!
