Our spruce tree, up close. The same photo today would show a bit of snow....

Never left the yard last January 26. Shot a few pictures of the cat. Then into the yard where I shot what I've been calling rehearsals--you'll see better versions of some of those. Then I captured some neighbors' back yards from ours.

Last year's pic-of-the-day: When I moved in, our house had been recently moved from another town into an open field, and we didn't have any near neighbors. Photographing the (then) McMurphy family's willow was easy across the meadow. Over two decades new houses and a garage (and plantings!) have made framing the photographs more difficult, but that tree's still one of the neighborhood's most attractive features.

By the way: A few months ago I told y'all a a story about an armadillo. The beasty lived in a (different) shed, under the willow.
