My Lake Zurich, Illinois yard looks it's prettiest in May. That's when my Redbud tree is flowering in my front yard, and several shrubs are in bloom in the back.
Then again, it's during the summer months when my daylilies, annuals and other perennials are at their peak.
Hmm, maybe it's the autumn, when my burning bush and maple tree are bright red against the clear blue sky.
Come to think of it, it's hard to say just when my yard looks its absolute best!
(NO, this is NOT MY yard!! I wish it was!)
Your yard probably has something to offer with each season as well. That's why I suggest that you keep your digital camera handy during the coming months so you can capture your home showing off. Take pictures often, including close ups of your trees, planting beds, flowering shrubs, garden, deck or patio, pool, and other aspects of your landscaping.
One of the things that I like to offer my clients is the use of a digital photo frame during the sale of their home. All of the photos taken throughout the year can be stored on a photo card, which is then inserted into a digital photo frame. When displayed in your home (right near the brochures and other information offered to a buyer) it is a photo slide show of your yard in all its glory throughout the seasons.
Fast forward to next winter, when you get that fantastic job opportunity and need to move to another state, or March, when you want to list your home to capture the early spring market. Thanks to the digital photo frame, your potential buyers will be able to see for themselves just how beautiful their future home will be.
So, if you want to stand out among the competition when it's time to sell your home, get your digital camera out NOW and start taking photos. If you have photos you've taken throughout the years that aren't digital, don't worry. I can scan them and load them onto a photo card for you when the time comes.
Now, if only we could capture the smell of those lilacs...

What a great idea, Kelly! I had never thought of using those digital frames to highlight a house, but I makes perfect sense. Bookmarked for future use.
