Different garden and the next door neighbors

I stopped the car to take a picture of this.

I intended to take closeups of this different type of 'garden'

and the beautiful, stately farm house that fronts it.

However,

someone else caught my attention----

I would have taken more pics of the rest of the group,

but I was literally stopped in the middle of a winding hilly road---

not the smartest or safest method of photographing.

But when there is no place to pull off, I just make do.

I would have loved to get out and frolic with them,

but doubt they would have been thrilled.

Oh, I didn't get the originally intended pics; ran out of time.

But I am glad I got these instead!
