Entries from the 2020 Flower Show in the 'Miniature Garden' category. The scale is 1:12 and the attention to detail is meticulous. The first is a Mediterranean Rivera scene and the second is from The Wind in the Willows.

This is a blog devoted to creating miniature gardens and has additional photos.

Found out where all the bird seed is going..............

Taken en route the other day. Thanks for these threads Annie, it gives my little strolls an added interest:)

American Lady Butterfly. I am always amazed at how much different the patterns are on the top and undersides of butterfly wings.

This was a dried up dahlia that I rescued for a dollar. I knew she would perk up !

Flowers on my Styrax tree a couple weeks ago.

The first cactus bloom this year.

@maire_cate, thanks for the link. I love miniatures.

Yes, I enjoyed the link too.

She's an incessant groomer. She's not fat by any means, she's actually tiny, just all fur.

I loved my trip to Alaska. My friend and I went on a small wooden yacht, The Discovery, with a crew of 4 and 7 guests.

I got to go fishing off the boat and caught a 15 lb. salmon that became our lunch that day. This was taken by my friend.

Our chef also had a good catch - a 25 lb. halibut!

This last picture was taken by another of the guests. Only 4 people could go ashore to look at the bears. I stayed on the boat while my friend went ashore.

nhbaskets, I really like that shot.

Some pretty photos today.

Alaska has so many beautiful views. I think the fjords were my favorite:

caflowerluver - I thought he was a doctor in an operating room - I was about to shriek!

skibby - LOL

Murraysmom and Arcy - love the Alaskan photos, they're spectacular.

Fun2BHere and Sjerin - I only wish my photos could show the depth of detail and the painstaking work that went into creating each miniature scene. Glad you liked the blog, I found it fascinating.

Gator having lunch in Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. He did not appreciate us watching him.

Rain, rain, go away.

Okra plants LOVE sun. This row, shows the plants the furthest away from the neighbors tree to be bigger than the ones closest.

He's careful in his operations, skibby.
