Even though I'm a less-structured, rambling garden lover myself, it's a great day out and there's always a few surprises.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404847464369238465.post-1822527847404803862013-04-04T20:29:35.814+11:002013-04-04T20:29:35.814+11:00Thanks so much for the tour, I could spend hours t...Thanks so much for the tour, I could spend hours there, love the modern vignettes and the rusty metal and the variegated foliage scenes.

I think we're both blessed to be living in such amazingly diverse places.<br /><br />I look forward to the magical happenings on your breathtaking mountain while experiencing the seasons on the opposite side of the wheel. You post such beautiful photos too.<br /><br />Thanks so much for dropping by :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404847464369238465.post-54301506635719937702013-04-01T11:07:34.728+11:002013-04-01T11:07:34.728+11:00Vicki, thank you for leaving a comment on my blog....Vicki, thank you for leaving a comment on my blog...it lead me to your wonderful blog! I've spent an enjoyable hour wandering through it. You live in such a beautiful, magical place. On a mountain and in a forest, like me, but so very different! If I looked out my window and saw such wondrously beautiful birds as you have where you live I'd probably think I'd died and gone to paradise. Thank you for putting me on your blog roll; I've added you to mine now.<br /><br />Blessings, <br /><br />VictoriaVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851516387194415387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404847464369238465.post-51581947543198354972013-03-29T11:36:06.784+11:002013-03-29T11:36:06.784+11:00I really do like the look of rusted metal - always...I really do like the look of rusted metal - always have. Used to collect little broken bits and pieces as a child - I had pockets full of stones and rusty metal, lol.<br />I find it interesting though, that these days, it is trendy, read - expensive.<br />I think people are harking back to "the good old days" and items that look like they came from a era gone by. Even new metals are getting the "rusted effects" finish... at a cost.<br /><br />Yes, Victoria is a beautiful place. Full of interesting buildings and places from fine architecture to funky, characterful abodes. Has a good vibe, mostly. I love it.<br /><br />Glad you came along on this wee journey :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404847464369238465.post-32540614550908991362013-03-29T03:16:31.329+11:002013-03-29T03:16:31.329+11:00i think victoria australia must be the perfect pla...i think victoria australia must be the perfect place to live. it's ALL there! such beauty. and history. and architecture. i am just mesmerized. i found myself sitting here and almost hearing the birds and the people and my own footsteps! that's how real you made this visit. i'm like tracy! i'm going back now!<br />except.<br />isn't it odd? the rusty sculptures are all the rage here too . . . at any art or garden show. and i have to say . . .<br />though i usually really like the forms and find them beautiful . . . the rustiness of them dark and orange . . . well<br />in our 100+ heat in the summer for weeks on end ~ i just find them HOT looking and miserable! i want to help them and move them to the shade! <br />thanks for a beautiful tour. i loved it. xotammy jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568939993585811311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404847464369238465.post-84383834251838259782013-03-27T08:01:27.446+11:002013-03-27T08:01:27.446+11:00I know Charlene, it's hard to not make even ju...I know Charlene, it's hard to not make even just a little room for new additions to the garden. It's almost an addiction, lol.<br /><br />I checked the link, wow, such lovely pieces! And their glazes are beautiful - very complimentary to their work.<br />I especially love the Koi Fish Bowl :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404847464369238465.post-3597693178971739092013-03-27T05:10:14.054+11:002013-03-27T05:10:14.054+11:00Oh, what fun!

So much to absorb in one day. It's exciting to see all the different styles of gardening, too. However limited my backyard space there is, as you say, always room for one more plant.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words on your previous post. I love seeing your sculptural work, too. Your faces have such soulful expressions. The lizard is wonderful with such nice details. There is a well-known pottery (artist couple) north of San Francisco, www.waxbing.com, that places lizards, sea creatures, etc on jars, teapots, etc. Your lizard and bowl reminds me of their work.

So much to see.<br />Plenty to get the creative gardening juices flowing - especially now, as it is cooling down.<br /><br />I'm more of a "less structured" girl and tend to create more rambling, less linear, gardens. But it was cool to see what is out there.<br /><br />It was a fun day :)<br />xxVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404847464369238465.post-31054771619036060752013-03-25T23:43:02.462+11:002013-03-25T23:43:02.462+11:00WOW...wow...wow...

I love garden shows. It is amazing how they create so many unique garden rooms, so many fanciful themes, and others very do-able... if one had the money, time, etc. ;o) I have to scroll back through the pics again... wonderful photos!
