View from a Back Yard

Thought I'd share some pictures from the backyard. I just can't get tired of the view! Apparently the snow is running late this year, so we haven't had any. When we finally get some, I'll add some winter views, too.

Here's the somewhat unkempt garden...if you look closely, you can see my dog going about her rounds. This is shortly after we moved in...the previous tenants had left the grass in pretty sad condition.

Plains to the east...lots of cows in the field...sometimes they come right up to the back fence, but not often.

Pike's Peak to the west...

A storm...

Dawn mists...

Balloons that often float over and land in nearby fields...

I know I'll be heart broken when it's time to move on. The positive side is there's a good chance we'll be stationed back here again someday. But, I've got a couple years here first to enjoy!
