As the soaking rains of Sunday showed us – spring blossoms can be here today, gone tomorrow. So I was out taking a lot of photos last week. So bring on the backlog! I haven’t even been able to sort through them all. While shopping in Tarrytown, NY I took a shortcut. When I saw this Wisteria trained to grow around a wraparound porch – I stopped my car and grabbed the camera.
It really looked like something from a bygone era where people sat outside on the porch at night and enjoyed a glass of lemonade. Here are two versions of the same shot – the second uses some artistic filters from photoshop. But for need to restock my dog food supply, I would never had seen this while it was blooming.
Home sellers should also take note: This home comes alive with curb appeal because of the plantings. If you think that landscaping doesn’t make a difference – think again. Now, if you are selling your house, you can’t wait years for wisteria to grow around your porch – but there are plenty of other less time consuming solutions. More on that shortly!
