A magical moment
This is Johana in Aiken , South Carolina . I had a different set of pic I was plan to submit , but when I awakened this good morning to such a beautiful spate from my windows , I take hold of my phone and tried to capture the beauty I was control .
This photo is of the frontwalkway , and since it was other morning time , the playful shadow and pattern remind me ofAlice Through the Looking Glass .
This picture show the ligustrum(Ligustrumjaponicum , Zones 7–10 ) in the background in full efflorescence .

In this photo you’re able to see the nest by our back door . This is where my husband and I watched a pair of mockingbirds build the nest .
Here you’re able to again see the blooming genus Ligustrum in the background signal , with the fictitious cypress(Chamaecyparispisifera , Zones 4–8 ) andEuonymus(Zones 5–9 ) .
Here is a close view of the ligustrum in bloom . Though often believe of as a foliage orhedgingplant , ligustrum can flower heavily , and the blooms are quitefragrant .

I wish I were a betterphotographer , but I do trust I captured some of the beauty of this day . give thanks you , and happy gardening to all .
