Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

Mock Orange........
The mock orange bush is putting out a great fragrance with its many blooms. It is an old shrub that was old and large when I bought the place in 1976. It thins out and new branches do form. It is the only one left in the neighbor hood. Two other neighbors had the bushes and they have through the years cut them down. On guy planted a house addition on top of the place where his was growing. The other neighbor systematically eliminated all the ornamental bushes one every couple of years. I guess he just wanted grass. The former owner liked to landscape and had a large variety of bushes that are all now gone. I do go over and tell the owners that they can not cut down the magnolia tree as it took over 30 years to grow and it is a novelty in this town.

Lovely picture. The perfume of these flowers makes me want to keep sniffing at them.
Trees are cut down everywhere without limits... and no matter how old or endanger they are. Glad you decided to sustain the trees :) Lovely orange blossoms
