Mosaic and Macro 2 Monday - Woodland Garden




This naturalistic woodland garden can be seen from Wolf Pen Branch Road, an historic tree lined corridor in eastern Jefferson County in Kentucky.  This is a private garden that can easily be seen--and photographed--from the main road.  I was able to get these photos with only a minimum of trespassing!  The garden's main features include a charming wooden foot bridge across a stream, a small pond with several pieces of garden art setting along the banks, and all these different trees and ground cover making a lush green setting at this time of the year.

Here are some different views of the garden (click on the mosaic to enlarge):

Clockwise: pond, stump sculpture, tree stump "men", bridge, child and stump sculpture

    What a small world...I go to church near Wolfpen Branch Road and I travel it at least once a week. We live in Oldham County and I grew up in St. Matthews. I am so glad to have spotted this on Mosaic Monday this morning. Lovely images~
