I have a small flower garden in my back yard with several birdhouses and birdbaths. The flowers, especially the roses, and my feathered friends remind me of my mother and of my childhood. My mom had a beautiful rose garden and our back yard was always visited by the most fantastic tropical birds, looking for food that she always had for them. I am following my mom's footsteps. I love when my birds wake me up bright and early during Spring, Summer and Fall; I only wish I had more time to dedicate to them and to my garden. Look at some photos that I have taken of beautiful flowers and animals, including my garden and 'my' animals.
