Oh my!  It is like an oasis.

Ah yes!  The full blooming azeleas.  That's how they bloomed in NY too.  Down here in Florida they bloom twice a year but usually not so full as that.  We have some really fragrant plants like gardinias.  I love the wildflowers that grow on the side of the road in the spring...here's a pic

Keep up the competition with your neighbor, it only gets more fun and beautiful!

keeping up with the Jones's can have a positive affect in property value, but does require a lot of extra work to compete.

Neighbors influencing neighbors, pulling up home values in the 'hood!  Who could ask for more!  I love your photos Charles.

Charles, you can't beat picturesque Central Virginia this time of year.

Thanks, great tour.

Those are some beautiful colors!Keep the pictures coming Charles!

Wow..beautiful pictures.  Makes you just sort of sit back and think of the simple wonderful things in life!  Thanks Charles for the reminder!

This is so gorgeous!  We own new construction, which essentially means we have little to no character in our yard.  We've been working on it, but it's nice to take a virtual tour through an established, Charlottesville estate.

Thats a great person to have beside you. It seems they take great pride in there landscape and plantings. I hope you catch up. All you got to do is dig out the old checkbook.

What a great view it is better to have the neighbors gardens look good I can see them better than my own.

Oh I am so in love! If it weren't for the cold winters, I could so easily live on the East coast! Wait a minuite, I am from the East coast and now live on the West. Too cold in the winter times for this chic. Great photos!

Opps, that was me Charles!

Charles, That is just beautiful!  I would be sitting in the pavilion, having a drink and looking at all the beauty!

Charles - still waiting to see the house that goes with these photos!!!!
