Actually, I’d say only one qualifies as an actual portrait. Ben Hur (yes, that’s his real name!), who has returned to us from a long time away.

A few more: Mere with Elisha . . .

Marcella (who unfortunately, I only “captured” from afar, as she was kneeling to plant a bed.

Then there’s Carissa. . .

And Kay-Anna

Note: only one person of all those photographed actually live here in this three-home village: Elisha, our “master gardener” whom we all look up to and try to learn from! The others are neighbors and friends.

Our beautiful garden corner of E. DeKist and Overhill Dr is the Great Attractor.
