The 'yard (372 images)
Brits call it 'the garden'. In the US it is the backyard, or the front yard. Personal space dedicated to nature, the outdoors; filled by lawn and flowers and accoutrements. And visited by birds and critters.
Creating a space that welcomes birds and critters may be one of the best things we can do to balance the development, the encroachment, around us.
