 Come with me I'll take you strolling through my garden in early mist White blanket layed upon the earth As if beyond nothing else exits  A late rose still shows her beauty many spiders passed her by Soon her petals will fall under but now she's reaching for the sky  Until snow she will show flowers comes in yellow and orange too she's a persistant little creature always finding her way through  I'll invite you to pick an appel shining wet from morning dew Weight on the branches heavily this tree produced here quite a few  Spider's season is the Autumn woven webs to catch some food Silver threads throughout the garden eightleg creatures with a patient mood  Our ways will part at this blue bush I hope you'll come back another time Then I'll invite you on a winterstroll through my gardenpictures on rhyme A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

I do so love your "garden pictures on rhyme". You seem to live in one of the most beautiful, serene places on earth. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Wow, this is beautiful, both the pictures and the poem. I know this is strange, but one of the things I miss about England is the spider webs, especially in winter when they are covered in frost or in the mornings covered with dew. One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. |

I'd love to wake up in your world, if only for a day. I live, very much in the city but am fortunate to have a small yard and an apple tree. It's never produced much in the 4 years I've been here, until this year. The branches were so heavy with apples that I couldn't duck under them to get through the yard. Finally I started picking them and giving them to friends and neighbors, who have since kept me in constant supply of pies and breads made from them. The first thing I see in the morning are these apples outside my bedroom window. It's a nice view to wake up to in the city. Thanks for another walk through your world. |

Dear friends I'm glad you enjoyed strolling with me. Such a beautiful season Autumn is, so maybe I'll take you for a second stroll. It's so easy with this digital camera. Sometimes I just make some pics before I go to work and then when I'm home pick the good ones out to use, or just a little part of them. Even on a square meter there's so much to see. I really enjoy doing this and every season has it's beauty if only you will see it. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

Yeah right... we both get the same morning mist, but you have the garden which makes you write great poetry! Not fair! Trade places for a while?  |

Munda, you're very welcome if you ever happen to be downsouth. The Hague is a beautiful old city but too crowded for me alas. A oneday visit I can handle, but then it's getting to me nerves  JamesMichael, the whole place is about 2600 square meters and my garden is roughly a 1000, but with pastures and farmland around, so where ever I stand I'll see a view like the first pic. I say thanks to all my friends who joined me in this stroll. Till next time. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
