That's also where I had set up the Jurassic Park scene in the summer...
When I took behind-the-scene shots the last three times I took doll photos out in the backyard, it dawned on me that they were all taken in the same place. Under the bridal wreath spirea bush in the upper garden. It has tiny in-scale leaves, and is one of the few places the ugly fence is hidden. That's also where I had set up the Jurassic Park scene in the summer... Then again in the end of October, with the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, set up again on the table on the lawn in front of it. By then the garden was almost empty, and the bush was starting to turn..... Then again, two weeks later with Monica and her horse..... ...and again, ten days later, with the first snowfall....

I think it's fantastic that you have such a great spot in your own backyard. And it really looks different in all the various photos. I have that problem with the fence in the background. Wish I had such a good solution!

It makes me wish I had other bushes up there to help hide the fence, since there's no other place that works for photos for most of the year.

Your garden is a magical oasis hidden in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. It's not just a lovely garden, it's the lovely setting of flights into the land of fantasy.

That lovely shrub really does make the perfect all-seasons prop!

Thanks. If I wasn't so old, it would be seriously tempting to redesign the upper garden so it works better for doll photos throughout the year, since it doesn't require getting down on the ground.
