"I was hoping some others would be willing to share photos of their gardens/landscaping."
Only because you asked Miss Kenton, how can anyone turn you down?
At our house I'm the Chief of Landscaping and Maintenance. In the Home's "Exterior" chain of command I'm at the top, then there is my wife who is the Director of Planting. After many years of encouragement she is finally getting the planting theme of 1, 3, 5, 6, onto to infinity. For years we had a raging battle over planting in pairs who were always looking for their lost partner. As a cost saving measure I step down from my position and allow myself to be field directed on matters regarding planting, moving, mulching, trimming and all mowing duties. The Director of Plantings also has the responsibility of planning and purchasing the seeds and starter plants for the vegetable garden and turning on the hose after the assigned task of getting the hose and sprinkler to the garden has been completed.
We have a yard with tall trees all around, making gardening a challenge due to the moving sun. Over time we have also been moving toward some shade planting under tree groves. The Director of Planting always seems to have an idea on where to install the next small garden or "interest spot" as she likes to announce.
These images might possibly show some of the landscaping/gardens/"interest spots".
So far this year the rabbits haven't eaten the flowers.

3's, 5's and singles, the Director of Planting finally got it right!
A shady area to maintain.
There was nothing here last year so the Director authorized the labor.
Even the family pet helps in the vegetable garden doing some spot fertilization.
The potter's bench.
The constant battle of good vs. evil. Grass is good but not when it invades periwinkle.
In-between seasons, the flowering bulbs are gone and the perennials still need time.
Whew, I'm ready for a post gardening beer.
