Happy Birthday to Me!

Here it is, another birthday already! Hint to my (Elizabeth's) age: I turned 13 the day we landed on the moon.  YIKES!  It was a wonderful afternoon in the garden: we visited with Bob and Jan Scott from Bend (and Tuscon, depending on the season), who we met last year at the garden. Jan plays koto and Bob loves music...they sat under the tree for our whole two-hour set.  A lot of people sat and sprawled on the grass to soak up the wonderuful sun; it was mid-70's so the weather was very comfortable. We also talked to some visitors from California.  The most noticeable difference from last week was the number of dragonflies; they were everywhere, flitting across the pond and through the air. Other than the lilypads,  most of the blooms are gone, leaving the garden in shades of green. 
NOTE: NEXT WEEK WE WILL BE GONE. NO MUSIC AT THE GARDEN.


A froggy enjoys the concert from his refreshing spot amist the lilypads.....
The paulownia tree offers a roof of large green leaves now.

The creek near the entrance...
Running water is very refreshing today.....

A touch of purple among the many ferns that line the pathways.
A dragonfly lands on the pathway rope....
Bob and Jan enjoy the music in the shade of the cherry tree.
Looking up, the blue sky and the maple leaves...

Overhead,  planes like to remind us of modern life, deadlines, and NOISY technology.
 (ah, well.....)
