-Description of a outdoor scene-

My backyard is so beautiful. Every season of the year shows different aspects which make it beautiful. In the spring everything is fresh. Plants and flowers are blooming as the thawing of the ground is occurring. I can see my dog running around finding all her toys that she lost when the snow in the winter fell and hid them all. Excitement is drawn all over her face. Summer approaches and the grass needs to be cut. The smell of cut grass fills the afternoon air. Lines from the lawn mower appear on the grass with spots of cut grass along the lawn. The sprinkler is spraying to give water to the dry lawn, providing it with a more enriched colour. During the fall the leaves turn pretty colours as decorations to the landscape. Orange, yellow and brown all mixed together in piles throughout the yard.  As spring approaches gradually we pile the leaves and throw them into piles. My dog enjoys running through the leaves as they are in the air, or when we hide her toys among the big piles. It becomes winter and the entire yard is now white, no sight of grass or the flowers and plants in the gardens.  Big snowflakes fall from the sky. The tree branches are white, the fence is white and the deck is covered in layers of snow. Doggie paw prints are scattered throughout the yard as a trace of where she has been. The seasons each have characteristics which make my backyard beautiful, from the fresh plants and flowers blooming to the layers of pure white snow across the entire yard.
