Summer Pictures of Trees in the Hotter Summer Season

Wood Images At The Beach

Hold on to the Wood Railing as you go down the recycled tire steps.
Windy day on the shores of Lake Huron this day.  High water levels and 3-4 foot high waves erode away the old sand banks created years ago.
Remains of a old weather beaten tree.Old trees and logs scatter the shore are roll back and forth by the one metre waves. High water levels erode the sand around tree roots causing some trees to fall.

Garden Water Pond

When looking for a water feature, one the first things is to consider scale … it is very easy to just buy one you fancy and then get it home to find it is too tiny for the spot you had in mind. Good part about buying a water feature at your local retailer is that you probably can easily return it, usually for full refund.

The fun part for me about having a garden water feature is that it attracts birds during the dryer summer times … if water fountain is close to your patio seating area or a window .. it is quite a cool experience to have them get so close … watching visiting birds coming and going about their business is enjoyable relaxed time.

A couple safety considerations, is that other insects are interested in your water source, these include wasps and bees and can be annoying and a sting hazard to some .. especially if they frequent your patio area .. and are constantly flying through your seating area. Also to be aware of young children may be temped to touch the water, if in reach, maybe afterwards put their hands in their mouth. Remember that bacteria from summer heat … and birds poop will contaminate your water … good warn to your kids and any visiting children not to touch the water.

The fastest way to get a water pond and/or fountain is to buy a prefabricated water feature … smaller water features can be found at home improvement retailers like Ace Hardware, Lowes, Home Depot, ADEO,… and your local garden center may have larger water fountains in more elaborate garden styles.

Cedar Trees

Cedar Trees Growth

Is this several cedars trees planted together?

No, as the pyramidal cedar grows several side branches will develop and increase the width at the base … if left untrimmed they will thrive a grow up looking like separate trees jammed together.

Planting Trees: When planting trees the significance of where they are planted does not seem to matter that much when they are small.

Years later mature trees in middle of your lakefront property may block your view of the lake and your properties relative value to future owners.
