Good fences, pretty boundaries

With two months of regular rains, and with John and I putting in some effort outdoors, our garden is beginning to look lovely. As always palisade fencing with wooden slats and the boundary wall between us and Angus and Amanda. 
The view from the back yard towards our bedroom window (the net curtains are always pinned back so that the kitties have a full view outside 

My Gazania Rigens with the sun slanting through the fence
The same part of the side garden from the bedroom window
The fence continues along the front garden. I took this photo from my small front veranda off our front door which we never use!
Facing the driveway and the front gate. Two months ago there was no lawn here; what a difference God-given rains makes
A wide-angled view of the driveway, palisade fences and the boundary wall
Last month we chopped this wild plum down; it had not made it through the drought. I bought and planted an Acacia Karoo (Sweet thorn) in front of it - you can just see it
Out on my pavement (sidewalk) I discovered that I had a Pride of India tree / Laegerostroemia indica. The lawn isn't too lush here, but I hope to strengthen it before the winter arrives
