Pictures one and two are from my yard. I saw the robin yesterday.

We planted creeping phlox a few years ago and it has done well.
Last year the Historic Garden Week tours were canceled due to Covid-19, but
some were held this year on a reservation-only basis. Today we went on the
Middleburg tour, which was not in Middleburg at all and rarely is. The
planning falls to the Middleburg Garden Club and it is always spectacular
because some extremely luxurious properties are in that area. Today I'm only posting photos from one of three places that were on the tour because I am very tired. We did a lot of walking!
This site was in Delaplane. Stone walls are common in Virginia's Piedmont region because there is so much stone there that farmers had to move it out of their fields anyway so they used it for walls.
I snapped a picture of a wheel cover on a car because my daughter has a pet dog who looks like this one.
That Robin is in fine condition. So are you flowers Linda.
ReplyDeleteYour robins look different from the British variety, but just as interesting. It's good you can now visit specialist gardens and take a tour. I hope you have a restful Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHello, Linda
ReplyDeleteLove your Robin photo, the tire cover with the dog pic is cute. Sweet shot of the sheep and the pretty horse. I love all the critters. Your phlox is beautiful. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Sunday, have a great new week ahead! PS, I appreciate the comment and visit.
Thanks so much for taking time this week to share this post with us birders at IRBB. Very much appreciated! Such a perfect Robin portrait!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a pleasure when a robin comes to visit.
ReplyDeleteGood one! Robin and phlox are the stars of this post.

...that quite the dog.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go on this kind of garden tour. Your photos are very smile-bringing :)
ReplyDeleteI like the wheel cover. I've thought about getting one for my Jeep. Love the phlox and pretty robin too!
ReplyDeletethe phlox is so pretty and my favorite color. it is nice to see everything come to life, nice capture of the robin!!
ReplyDeleteThe robin looks like a fine fellow.
ReplyDeleteCreeping plox seems a funny name for a plant but the flowers are beautiful. The robin looks similar to our magpie robins except ours are black and white
