Side Views

with 6 comments

Asher and I spent a little time out behind the house yesterday morning in the space that I think of as our “side yard.” It produced this collection of views that caught my eye…

.

I hope these provide a sense of the beauty and tranquility that we are blessed to enjoy in our little paradise. Maybe not so tranquil for the burrowing rodents that Asher seeks to root out, but otherwise, heavenly in the fall, under majestic old trees on a bright, sunny day.

  1. Wood shed looks a little bare?

    • It does! Since our burn rate is rather low, that is actually more than a year of wood available there and we have a full rack on the deck ready to feed fall fires, of which we’ve now already had two.
      My plan is to fill the left side in the coming weeks and months so it will have, at minimum, a year to dry.
      The last two years we have only burned through about a quarter of the shed per season.

  2. Love the one looking up the tree with some bark in focus, leaves out of focus!

    • Thanks for letting me know. I like it in combination with the wider focus version. They make a good pair.

      • It does not surprise me that we might share this opinion. 🙂
