LANDSCAPING AT TRAVERS BAY - MICHIGAN

Our side yard. Spreading wave shock Petunias and Dianthus add color. This row alternates with Oregon Blue Spruce bushes and burning bushes.
At the end of the side planting is a lavender Phlox and next to it, is a Shasta Daisy perennial which has completed its beautiful blooming daisies for now. Behind them is a beautiful Purple Spider Wort whose flowers opened up mid morning to mid afternoon.
Another view of our site.
Looking at our backyard. Along the shed is a Golden Privet bush and a Barberry bush. To the left of the photo is the main road into the RV Resort, and if that car would make a left turn where it is and then a right turn, it would be on our street--Forest View Road; so named as there is a forest view across from the pond and road from our backyard.

To break-up the look of the additional concrete, Walter added this planter with two Golden Chinese Junipers. This plant is medium green with bright yellow tips.
Our side yard where we will finished landscaping next year. The large fir tree in the front shows evidence of the fierce North wind in the winters.

The completed patio with retaining wall and plants.

Our retaining wall and its view of the ponds, main road to the office and clubhouse and the pool area to the right of the clubhouse.
Bottom room starts and ends with Golden Chinese Junipers and then two Oregon Blue Junipers and two Dogwood bushes. The Dogwood bushes has burgundy branches which is so attractive espicially in early spring before the leaves come out.
Wubie cleans himself in the Buddha position and usually falls asleep in this position and then falls onto his side. Sometimes he is too close to the end of the bed and we hear a boom!
