   I share your love of birch trees. Pleasure to see them in your beautiful garden. Hope you have more photos to share of other seasons in your garden with the gate. Circles and spheres add so much to a garden. That gate is so elegant.

   Fun study of trees. I'll have to try this next year.

   Gorgeous trees. Tried growing here and it just isn't going to happen, certainly not over any length of time. Thanks for sharing.

   Your birches are wonderfully worthy subjects for night time uplighting, Patty, and I'm sure the textural shadows created by their bark are particularly beautiful if one were to wander closer to them. Of course, they are gorgeous contrasted against a perfect blue sky, also.

   The exquisiteness of your moon gate rang a bell and a google search took me to 2 of your previous sets of photos on gpod. Your garden is definitely a memorable one with its oh, so handsome rock work, beautiful plantings and delightful objects of ornamentation. It's always a treat to see any part of it you wish to share.

   I can't believe how different your yard looks in different seasons! All very beautiful. I especially love the last one.

   I love those white roses in front of the white trunks of the birches - surprisingly beautiful. And, as others have said, the final shot with the moon gate is jaw-dropping!

    Lovely! My favorite is the winter scene. I have a clump of river birch in my front yard that I am in love with also.

    Love your garden, Patty, and these photos are amazing. That is a great tree and stunning feature in your garden. I think that Vita Sackville-West would be envious of your 'white garden' of white roses in front of the birch. Very serene.

    Your birches are beautiful, as is the rest of your garden! Wonderful photos!

    Beautiful pics especially the winter one. I love it when the snow fall has just the right amount of wetness in it and freezes on the trees coating the limbs, twigs and twigletts individually with a lacy frosting.

    I appreciate all the kind compliments. The white shrub roses are Alba Meidiland.??

    Birch is one of my favorite trees and yours are gorgeous. I lost one of mine last year and refuse to cut it down! The silver is hard to grow in my garden but I have quite a few river birch - every variety is so graceful all year. Love your winter photo and have renewed my longing for a Moon gate. Your garden is lovely, Patty.

    Your birch trees are beautiful Patty, as are your peaceful gardens. The winter scene is downright dreamy! I have had a soft spot in my heart for birch trees since I was a little girl and brought a teeny-tiny one home for Arbor Day, it couldn't have been more than 12" long. My dad and I carefully planted it in the back yard and tended to it with love. As an adult I returned to my hometown and drove past our old house... my birch tree towered over the roof and was still swaying in the breeze.

    Gorgeous and quite the site to beholden any time of the year. If I had a view like that, I'll definitely be photo of those as my holiday greeting card every year.

    Couldn't agree more or say it better. Gorgeous garden.
