Garden Proper: Except for the robins who claim the front and backyard as home territory, the cat birds who meow in the garden proper most of the day, the hummingbirds who claim the flowers (and they do rest after a meal, quietly sitting on the tip of a daylily leaf to survey the scene), and the house wrens who claim everything, most of the summer birdlife is in the fields and meadows that stretch to the woods. Part of this decline in birds closeby is the result of the garden cat's wander¬ings as she guards against rabbits. But the above-mentioned birds are not bothered by her attentions and continue to go about their garden business. They appear to be too catwise for serious worry.
Ensuring maximum safety on board requires more than just a set of emergency preparedness plans, as described in the previ¬ous chapter. You must also have the proper equipment on board in sufficient quantities, and you must follow proper procedures at all times.See Also Big Garden:The inclusion of an arresting object within a small big garden is an excellent way of detracting the eye from adjacent buildings and into the big garden itself. The focal point in this big garden is an ornate wrought-iron seat, which leads the eye down the big garden. The rather austere rectangular lawn is surrounded by a mass of pretty, shrubby little plants, which together help to soften the overall look of the big garden.
There are many ways of increasing the sense of depth in a big garden. Vistas can be emphasized and "lengthened" by stressing the distant perspective. Eye-catching features can be used to draw the eye away into the distance, but there is no need to rely solely on the contents of your big garden to do this. Make use of the landscape outside: let the outside world become the focus of your big garden vista. If you are fortunate enough to have a big garden with an extensive view, make the most of it. Use trees and shrubs to frame a glimpse of the scene beyond the big garden.
On The Other Hand See Sun The Garden Enjoys:How THE site is positioned in relation to the sun and shade is the next consideration. The aspect determines how much sun the garden enjoys and at what time of the day certain parts of the area are in sun or shade. In some cases—coastal districts and very exposed inland areas in particular—aspect determines what spots in the garden are exposed to strong winds and so need to be screened.
Ideally, a backyard should have a sunny aspect and receive the maximum amount of sun during the day: if the garden is not over-shadowed, the sun will shine on it from early or mid-morning until evening. The principal drawback to such an aspect is that in some neighborhoods it may be exposed to strong winds, although these are usually relatively warm.
The worst aspects for a garden are when the amount of sun that shines directly on the garden is restricted or where shade prevails during the afternoon. Accompanying winds are often strong and biting, and if the site is in a particularly open position, this could have a damaging effect on plants. Gardens that receive sun during at least the afternoon are much more favorable to plants, as they tend to benefit from a certain amount of warmth, shade and moisture.
The Camera definitely has taken its place in the past few years as the most important tool in publicity and public re¬lations. The publicity photographer nowadays enjoys stature equal to that of the publicity writer and his income can be even greater than the writer's. |
