Took my first local walk today-- out the back door and turn right. 8/10 of a mile west, 220 feet up!

I occasionally post to a community called "rural ruins"-- now I live with one. The corner of our house is just barely out of the picture on the right.

This isn't a great pic, but I suspect this spot will be glorious as the colors change, and great birdwatching in the spring.

I was startled to see water lilies blooming in a tiny pond hidden in the brush.

Top of the hill, looking east towards home.

A great view from lower down the hill. With x-ray vision you'd see my house in the lower left corner.
