Some Landscaping Photos

One evening, while Gee went to pick up Lukey and Kenzie earlier in the week, I wandered around our yard with one of my cameras in hand.  Most of our flowers are now in bloom so it was time to try to capture some nice images of the landscaping around our house.  

We get a lot of compliments about our home as people walk by our house.  Actually, almost everyday we get at least one compliment.  Even while I was shooting photos on this particular evening, a neighbor walked by and told me she loved the house and that "it looks like a little paradise".  I must be doing something right with our landscaping and the exterior of the house.

Here are a few photos.

First, here is a photo looking toward the road...

Here is our covered outdoor kitchen...  one of the most useful and nicest additions to our home...

We used to cover this tree in Christmas lights every year until it grew to about 30 feet tall.  Now it is probably more than 50 feet tall...

Another evening of S'mores...

Two of our rainbarrels which help keep our landscaping looking so nice...

I don't get many photos that show our fairly new and bear-proof (so far) trash shed.  I whacked my head about three times while building this shed which resulted in a TBI and a few months of nothingness, dizziness, cognitive difficulties and headaches.  That little week-long project in June that year put an end to everything that summer.

This view is looking from the road toward our backyard...

I shot this next photo from our little putting green looking toward the kitchen and the front road...

For this next photo, I wandered back onto our neighbor's property so I could show the putting green at the far back end of our property...

We have more blackberries than we know what to do with this year!  Sheila, Lukey and Kenzie have been picking them daily for weeks now.  We had a nice breakfast on Monday consisting of smoked bacon and French toast covered in fresh blackberries and fresh blueberries.  That was pretty tasty!

I suspect I'll be shooting more photos whenever I notice the light hitting something in our backyard just the right way.
