5712 Early Summer

Took these yesterday. There’s one looking the opposite direction from about this spot a few weeks ago when the ground cover under that pine tree was blooming. The Light Tree is all new this year, starting with a hard-wired 120-watt LED barn light last fall. The other side over the driveway is an all-in-1 solar-powered so-called 700-watt unit, which BTW literally cannot hold a candle to the plug-in model pointing out in the street. We’ve been through three of the solar-powered variety so far, and the batteries just don’t last in normal use. This one is set on minimum time with motion-only, so we’ll see. The Chinese appear to rate alot of their stuff very optimistically.

What used to be the biggest Aspen in front is down to one spindly leg. I was surprised it had any life left in it at all this year. Won’t be sorry to see it go. It makes a nice flower stand and is too close to the house.

Still need a weather station and traffic cam up there…
