We visit the Oregon Coast yearly and I love the flowers and gardens
in Cannon Beach with a view of Haystack Rock and the ocean
{the dogs like it there too}
After visiting there in April, I came home wanting to create
a miniature garden with a beach theme.
Flowers, a tree (a dwarf form of Japanese Cedar), a sandy beach
and of course, the ocean!
with Haystack Rock off in the distance
We always see dogs at Cannon Beach
{and bring our own}
The black one above is resting on Scotch Moss,
a ground cover perennial
and the white one is running on the beach,
past the sandcastles and beach umbrella
These last 3 photos have a blue sky appearing above the ocean
I used pastels on paper as a photo prop
and now I want to figure out how to keep a sky out there
beyond the ocean!
{my back yard fairy garden has a painted background, so why not?}
I added some glitter to the sparkly sand,
not sure what a wind storm or heavy rain will do to this garden,
but this week has beautiful weather so I'm not going to think about that now.
