City lights
Our ravine forest view is increasingly one of sparkling night views.
A new hotel, more street lights, and distant lights combine to create it.
The day view is urban nature, partially restored to natural forest (my gardening companion spent hours yesterday and today moving around native plants (shrubs and trees) to places he'd thought they'd do better.
A woodland forest in the old "coal" road is taking shape, with sassafras, tulip poplar, striped maple, spice bush, and more. He's moved around many other natives, too, trying to get them in the optimal spots. He's created lovely native vignettes - he wouldn't call himself a gardener, even yet, but he's a great one.
We're thinking about taking out the Ozark witch hazel to give us a more balanced view to the created natural landscape beyond. It's probably a good thing and will give me more space for the pocket meadow.
There are already signs of spring to come (dandelions, winter jasmine in flower, etc.) -- way early, but welcome.
