Benchmarks for Picture Posterity

Even before this adventure started I knew I would be taking A LOT of pictures.  I decided to establish "viewpoints" on every side of the property.  About once a week I walk around the yard and take a picture from the same spot, a benchmark of sorts.  I am hoping in the end, I will be able to create a slideshow from these reference points, and the house will appear to grow before your eyes.



Camera View Points

 You might have noticed that a few of the pictures I have included in blogs are from some of these vantage points.  Every viewpoint is from a place I can easily go back to, typically a tree.  I cover all sides of the house: WEST(left side from Carol St standing between 2 small trees), NORTH (rear, standing just in front of the Buddha), EAST (right side from Carol St standing by a very large tree on our neighbor's property) and SOUTH (front, standing in front of a tree in our yard).  

Then there are other views that give a good perspective, or just seem appropriate, like the Mailbox.

Following are one picture taken from each viewpoint.  Each picture shows more development.
