Country Garden/Rural Thursday

 Colourful birdhouses adorn a tree, King Township, Ontario

We couldn't just drive by this! We turned around to take a second look and take some photos.

 More than a tree with birdhouses

It's a garden with....

 Closer look at the fence

 much attention to detail, even a hanging basket on the fence.  So much detail, in fact,

 On the other side of the fence

that I tiptoed (SHHHH) down the driveway to take a closer look. And with my telephoto lens,

Gladioli and zinnias

got even closer.

  21. A very visitable place! Lots of good stuff to look at. I hope the birds don't come home a bit tipsy, though, 'cause they could easily fly into the wrong birdhouse with dire consequences! Have you ever seen a really mad ol' hen?

  22. That's pretty enough to be a postcard, or a puzzle picture. Lovely rural scene.

  23. This is a fun posting. With all that free housing and a garden close by, it must be a great place to raise baby birds.
