I am still waiting for buds to show up on my bushes. <br /><br />I haven't noticed any difference in the photos. It could be your monitor as some above suggested. I have noticed when I change my background color the photos look different, maybe you aren't used to the new color yet. <br /><br />Just an fyi, your page loads fast for me.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-11760203470986081742011-05-23T20:43:45.119-05:002011-05-23T20:43:45.119-05:00Beautiful landscaping!

Driving past our old house I noticed the Rhododendron bush we had planted was big and gorgeous. It broke my heart because the deer here nibble one we planted and it hardly has a chance. :)<br />I know I've said it before many times but your yard is gorgeous!<br />I know it takes time too. Your and George's efforts are rewarding for all of us who enjoy seeing the beauty.<br />I haven't noticed darkening of my photos but I'm going to pay attention. I know it is taking blogger forever to download my pics since their maintenance.<br />Hope you're having a wonderful day Betsy!Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-60537483738915696362011-05-23T16:13:12.966-05:002011-05-23T16:13:12.966-05:00Your yard is gorgeous!!

When we bought this house most of the yard was COVERED in English Ivy. English Ivy and privots. They might as well have covered the yard in kudzu! <br />The Double Delight certainly is delightful!

I love that the Rhodie stays green all winter!<br /><br />Beautiful azaleas...you DID get alot of rain to make that much color :)<br /><br />Oh, I think I caught a scent of that Double Delight rose, right off the screen...!<br /><br />I am sorry to hear that George's dad isn't doing so well, emotionally. How hard it was for him to let go of his independence. I hope he can rally. My thoughts are with you.<br /><br />Thanks for the Flower Power that you are sending out!<br /><br />~~ hugs~~Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584744403425323128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-283659264190319412011-05-23T14:48:46.865-05:002011-05-23T14:48:46.865-05:00Doble Delight is a beautiful rose!
