Love the (FANTASY) world I've created within a cluster home subdivision. Living in the world but not of the world. (Note: western sun baked this area & winter's wind slammed into it. Not anymore. Tea olives/cleyeras stop the cold winds & crape myrtles shade me, dropping foliage for winter's sun to warm me & host song birds all year to sing & entertain me. Yes, Poppets, the workings of the universe/nature were created solely for my amusement. Lawn, above, belongs to my neighbor.) 
Near Virginia Highland, above. Trees, wall, car have been exactly like this since I moved to Atlanta in 1982. Ooooooh, the mystery of that garden..
Hedges & walls; great for creating mystery. Every garden needs Mystery.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Say Sab, recognize that car? Yes, it's a Buick Wildcat !!! Remember flinging me out of the car while you were still driving it???? Poppets, my grandmother gave a 1964, white with red leather interior, Buick Wildcat to my sister & me when we were teenagers. Pic, above, taken last month while sitting at a red light.

Charleston and New Orleans both have great mystery gardens. I always want to take a sneak peak...
My first thought was, "This is beautiful--I wonder what's beyond that hedge and look at those delicate trees atop the hedge." Yes, I want to see more! I have a brush cherry hedge, but . . .I have no mystery going on :(. . .I need to work on creating some out there! Thank you for the inspiration, Tara.
