View from the Deck

Our deck is very high. When the Mountain Laurel is blooming, the lovely flowers can be seen in every direction. Here are a few shots from the deck today. (Click to enlarge any picture for more detail.)












It's almost like living in a tree house!

What a view. You're right - a treehouse! I dream of a view like that, Carolyn. A paradise for birds and wildlife. I wonder if you have a creek or stream down below.

I'll take your tree house!! Just lovely. When will the Mountain Laurel reach it's blooming peak? Ours is always around the end of June.

Mary - Yes, we do have a creek. I'll post a picture of the backyard soon.
Toni - The Mountain Laurel will peak at our elevation in another two weeks, but some of the ones in the shade will take longer.
Jayne - We do spend a lot of time on the deck. Our birdfeeders are attached to the deck and most of the birds will come to feed even if we are out there.
Shellmo - It is almost as peaceful as watching the ocean.
