Accepting change
The Dancer The Guardian is the oak on the left. As the lot next to us started the process of being cleared for construction, it became obvious that it was going to have a huge impact on the aesthetic and sense of place or home we had been developing since moving in exactly a year earlier. Change is inevitable but it still can catch one off guard. The day the bright turquoise sanihut was installed very near the end of our driveway (it has since been moved further away -- hooray!), I realized I'd better get out there and capture what the front yard looks like without a home looming in the background. These are my bittersweet images from my cell phone on a beautiful October (2017) day's sunset. That lot had the most vibrant and amazing wildflower display and some clusters of live oaks that supported a lot of wildlife.
