I always prefer the 'wild', to the 'tamed'.<br />I think Nature does a much better job.holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-17848299368686929192009-06-01T11:51:29.369-04:002009-06-01T11:51:29.369-04:00An author named Sharon Butala was responsible for ...An author named Sharon Butala was responsible for helping to establish a conservency in south Saskatchewan, Canada. Books: The Perfection of the Morning and Wild Stone Heart. She wanted to preserve the natural prairie grasses in a place where wheat crops have never been planted. She also wanted to preserve the buried sacred places of our First Peoples. The conservency is set up to run from Saskatchewan to Montana and they will re-establish buffalo herds from original buffalo species to roam the conservency prairie once again. Sharon's most pressing argument for doing this was the natural beauty of the prairie flowers. Now I get to see why she was so enraptured!

That is somethng the german government prides itself on, keeping the country as natural looking as possible. In fact, when we built our house, we had to take down some trees, and for that we had to plant some else where on our property! It keeps things balanced!! Lovely pictures, especially the last one with the little bee! You may not have found water, but you sure did hit the jackpot there with the flowers and the pictures you were able to snap!! Lovely, lovely post. Enjoy your time with your daughter!!<br /><br />p.s. thanks for the tip off that my pst archive said only 98, I had 2 drafts that were long forgotten, so I quickly added them in, making the actual count come up the much wanted 100th!! My dashboard had said 100, so I believed it. THANKS so much for checking that out for me in-depth!! I owe you!!!

I think it's a fantastic idea and love to see the progression happening. I know what you mean, I too love formal gardens but I have grown to love that natural look as well. I planted a large bed in the front of my house with wildflowers and it's so beautiful. Kind of that wild English Garden look.<br />That is a fantastic shot of the bee GingerV.<br />Hope you have a great weekend with your family my friend.<br /><br />Steady On<br />Reggie GirlMidlife, menopause, mistakes and random stuff...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04189854037804749722noreply@blogger.com
