First rate photograph Jeff. You have a real gift and I would imagine a great deal of patience in obtaining birding photos. Robert, I would call your back yard a garden. I have been looking up all sorts of sites claiming to know the definition of yard vs garden. The only one that makes sense to me is, the land surrounding a home is called a yard and if you plant flowers, shrubs, food product, etc, it becomes a garden. This definition works well with your thoughts Robert about scrap yards, cattle yards, etc. There is usually a building of some sort surrounded by land called a yard. You put scrap metal on it and it's a scrap yard. Anyway, I have always been amazed at the beautiful gardens Europeans have on their property. They have a love of beautiful plants.

Great shot Jeff, and I particularly like the title.  I am afraid any bush planted in my "garden" will remain where it is until it dies a natural death or it dies from neglect.

One of the most popular magazines in the US is called Better Homes and Garden and it doesn't refer to raising vegetables. When I lived in Western Pennsylvania I had three acres in the country and it was mostly backyard. Some flowers but mostly green grass that had to be mowed. Since moving to Southern Arizona I have substituted rocks and pavers (really thin bricks) for my entire yard area. Some Cacti and one olive tree. The first couple of years here we actually had a small vegetable garden,with sweet corn,green beans and tomatoes. But that was quickly paved over. So much less work and you don't have to water. I think some call it laziness brought on by old age. I just started earlier.

Here is the definition from Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yard_%28land%29 The word "yard" came from the Anglo-Saxon geard, compare "garden" (German Garten), Old Norse gar°r, Russian gorod = "town" (originally as an "enclosed fortified area"), Latin hortus = "garden" (hence horticulture and orchard), from Greek χοÏτος (hortos) = "farm-yard", "feeding-place", "fodder", (from which "hay" originally as grown in an enclosed field). "Girdle," and "court" are other related words from the same root.[1] In areas where farming is an important part of life, a yard is also a piece of enclosed land for farm animals or other agricultural purpose, often referred to as a cattleyard, sheepyard, stockyard, etc.

Wow Jonathan, that cleared everything up. I now have a solid handle on the term yard vs garden.

Fracking for example? I want cheap gas and cheaper petrol, do I want fracking? Yes, provided it's not in my back yard! LOL

If it comes up in your back yard then you keep quiet and bottle it and sell at your local market. If you complain then the council come and move you out and into some heap and keep the valuable oil/gas for themselves.
