The rain we’ve had the last few days seems to have gone, and, as I wandered out to the yard this morning, I noticed how different everything looks with the trees trimmed. “Our” squirrel was bounding about as usual, but is having to learn new paths among the branches. Our pin oak’s limbs used to droop and were entangled with the magnolia and laurel nearby. Now I can stand UNDER the pin oak and look UP!

This is spectacular. Excellent composition. Did the squirrel ever find a way up the branches? BTW, I’m impressed with all your links. I’m not familiar with Digg or Stumble Upon. I’ll have to check them out.
The best umbrella ever!
great perspective, a little trimming goes a long way
This is great makes me wanna lay under it with a blanket and sleep!
