 This
is a view of our home from looking southeast. Pines, a Sweet Gum, Water
Oak and Laurel Oak fill our front yard. We are not landscaped but xerascaped.
We opted for a more natural appearance - not liking to use fertilizers
that run-off. This photo was taken in Spring when we lose about 50% of
our leaves and new growth starts. |
 This
photo was taken just about 15 feet to the left from the photo above and
at the edge of our neghbor's driveway. This photo was also taken in mid-summer
so the trees are full. The house is hidden behind the small Sweet Gum tree.
(taken in Summer) |
 This
is a Japanese Magnolia planted by the street light. It's always the first
to show life after Winter. You can see it above but with leaves. This photo
was taken in mid-February. |
 This
is a view of the house in the mid-Springtime from the other corner of the
property. Slightly to the right of the mailbox is a 15 ft. wide greenway
seperating us from our neighbors. A Laurel Oak stands behind the
mailbox with a large Black Cherry to the right of that. A Florida Maple
and Silver Maple are to the left of the driveway as well as a small Black
Cherry just to the left but not shown. (#1) |
 Just
another view but closer and taken in late Summer. |

house from just a bit furthur down |
 Cheryl
built our mailbox back in 1992. On top is a rabbit laying down. |
 This
looks along the south side of our home. You see a pretty tall Laurel Oak
maybe 60 feet tall next to the garage. To it's right is a Black Cherry
that's maybe 30 feet tall. Behind those two is a small Dogwood and in the
far distance are Long Leaf and Short Leaf Pines about 90-100 feet tall. |
 This
photo was taken from our porch and looks out to the west southwest and
Folkstone Rd. Here you can see our wooded front yard in mid-summer. |
 A
photo of our van... but this does show the large Live Oak directly across
Folkstone Road and a different view. |
 This
is a view of the Long Leaf & Short Leaf Pines that we have here. These
are somewhere between 85-110 feet tall. Makes things a little tense when
we have a tropical storm heading this way. |
 This
is our neighbor's home to the south of us or to our right as you face our
home. |
 This
is Folkstone Road looking south. A Live Oak tree reaches over the road
on the right. |
 This
is a vew of the rear of the house. Not much has changed here except the
London Plane Tree which is in the Sycamore family (left) now extends out
over the bird feeder. We planted this Sycamore in 1997 as a 2 foot twig.
It is now over 30 feet high with a 20 foot spread. |
 Another
view not too unlike the above. This one shows the Tulip Poplar tree behind
the bird feeder which is now twice that size. The ramp portion of the deck
was put in by Jim Neuman in 1992. |
 This
is from our deck in the rear. Obviously the Sycamore is much larger this
year. In the square beds are day lilies which we acquired from a neighbor. |
 Looking
down the ramp (North) - within this picture is a young Live Oak and a Hybrid
Poplar (front) which is very fast growing. To the extreme right is a pine
tree growing through the deck. Not our idea but costly to remove. The tree
is about 90 feet in height. |
 Just
a picture of a flowering White Dogwood over the corner of our house. We
have 3 Dogwood trees but this seems to flower best. (late February) |
 This
is a Live Oak tree across from our house on Folkstone Road. Picture taken
from our driveway.
(late February or early March) |
 A
close-up shows the pink azaleas that are planted around it. |
