Battle of the Backyards

Again with the landscape postings...what can I say? Compare and contrast the differences. This is my brother, Sean's backyard in Albuquerque. I think they have done an amazing job. It is truly a desert work of art. As you see, they live on the side of a hill.
< Ah, the flat terrain of Marysville, Ohio. It is so green and lush and some of the trees have not even budded out yet.

My beautiful lilacs! When I am done, I hope to have about 50 of these babies in my yard.
