Trees And Much More

Friends. To start this walk and post for you. I wanted to show the advantage of being out of the "gated communities." You can build what you want. And look for the natural settings that are still available here in some areas to fit in with your ideas and plans.
This one has been here for a few years now. It is in a natural setting of trees and the landscaping is not as disruptive as some that are being built today.

In my walk. I see some places that are hidden from view by the natural habitat that surrounds it.
The greenery of it can be so pleasant to look at.

Contrast the above with the open view that we can see with the metal canopy structure for the boat and other items being stored under it. Big difference.

This area where I have been walking is well shaded by trees and bushes as you can see.
In the hot summer time. This shade is appealing to us.

This is a large tree for our area of Florida. It took many years for it to grow to this size.

You can see how the branches are located and growing out from the huge trunk of the tree.

Here is the trunk of the tree. It is a strong and healthy tree from all appearances.
It is not the only tree of size in our community. There are others located on empty lots.
The shade in the summer is nearly priceless. Building to save the trees makes very good sense.

I see signs such as this all around our large community. It is so sad when the pets stray away from their homes and the people that love them. I like some dogs. Katie likes cats. I don't really to like have animals in the house. But I can see the advantage of protection by the dogs. But cats. Not so much. Ha
Remember. I grew up on a farm. The animals stayed outside or at the barn. But you guessed it. Katie will bring her cat in with her. What can I do? lol

More tree trunks to see. They could not be moved very easily. They are so strong looking to me.

This post is beginning to turn into a tree post. The people that live around here must like trees.
Otherwise they would have cut them down a long time ago. They know and understand the value of the trees.

See how well the house fits in with the natural look as I approach the dwelling?

This is another close up look at this house that has so much charm to it. I like to look at this setting.

This is toward the backside of the house. A ditch or large drainway for moving the water away during heavy rains.

A lot of water could be moved down through this ditch. While the state is called, "sunny Florida." It is also true that a lot of rain and water can be associated with the state. It is not a desert by any stretch of the imagination.

These plants are nearby and are very pretty. Green and growing.

And so are these added to the scenery as well. It all adds up to something very lovely in the nearby neighborhood.

Stop. You have went far enough. There must be a message in here for me in this work and post.
I will heed the signs. Tomorrow is another day. We can always start again as we move along in our neighborhood community.

Trees are nice. But so is this little flower very pretty. Don't you agree?

Dogs, cats, trees, and flowers. That has been much of the theme in this post.
It has mostly been centered around "trees."
So, let us see if we can find something that will fit in with our theme.
See if this is what most of us can agree is very nice for this work.

It is a very good "tree song" I think.
We will go back to our loving ways later. You do know I like "love songs" don't you?

This is posted for you because we have Steemit. Without Steemit. We see and hear nothing.

Can we over emphasize Steemit? I don't think so. That is why I work so hard.
And I know that many of you do the same.
Thank you

Francis
