The old-growth trees are beautiful -- and provide privacy from the street. |

Our backyard. The lot slopes downward through the forest for about .6 acre, including a creek. Little can be seen through the summer growth however. |

In this shot from the side of the house you can sense the folage density. I may have to take a machete to it this summer. |

And, of course, one must have the perfect car to properly enjoy spring. This one resides happily in our garage! |
