Day 4 of my #fivedayquest , thanks to +Elizabeth Hahn
5 days / 5 photos / tag a new person each day to join
1 photo for 5 days of your daily life.
I am blessed to live in a rural community, with a short 2-minute drive (or 10-minute walk) to my office on a small college campus.
As a teacher, I end up doing a lot of work at home (grading, lecture prep, etc.)… and this is my "home-office".
I love my backyard Redwood tree… with scrub jays and squirrels at play, humming birds feeding, along with the occasional family of deer meandering by… we've even had a coyote take a nap at the edge of the yard, and just yesterday a cute red fox was exploring around in the brush beyond the tree.
Of course I get focused on the computer screen for hours at a time…but the occasional pause to look at the beauty in the back yard always lifts my spirits.
+Ron Clifford once challenged me to get out and shoot something from every possible angle until that something got tired of being shot at….and I did that with this tree…and found some really cool new ways to view it…
+Colby Brown once wrote that if you can't find inspiration in your back yard, you're not trying hard enough and I think that's true even if you don't have a big Redwood tree. Just keep an eye open for the interesting things all around… take a look from a new perspective once in a while…not just in your photography, but in all that you do.
For this fourth day of the five day quest, I tag +Joe Frazee. Joe, you are under absolutely no pressure to do the fivedayquest, but if you want to, you can! Just post a photo of daily life for five days. :-)

I would love to have your back yard!!
Nice office!
We do love it, +Sandra Parlow, though (not shown here), there is a lot of work to be done… weeds, and pesky moles, and tree trimming, and gutter-cleaning, and… ;-}
Thanks, +Ryan W!
as always… there is a trade off…
Love the view! Redwoods are such calming trees, it looks like a wonderful place to get some work done. Or just stare out the window and think about it. 🙂
Love it!
Nice view…. if you must work indoors at least have a view like that… 🙂
I don'[t think I could get any indoor work done with a backyard like that!
Definitely calming, +Elizabeth Hahn
+Colby Brown, thanks for stopping by!!
+Angelika Perry, looking forward to your visit to the valley!
+Ron Clifford …I would agree in the sense that there is too much to do to keep the 'wild' from taking over the back yard! (reminds me… time to mow again..)!
Me too… Me too +Dave Bell … two more weeks and here we come :-)))
Always a pleasure +Dave Bell 🙂
If anyone is a weather buff, the orange display is from my Davis Vantage Vue weather station that sits atop my house, which feeds information to the National Weather Service and Wunderground to make forecasts better for our unique microclimate.
Most weather sites are wildly inaccurate for our little town… but if you visit http://wunderground.com and put in our zip code, 94508, you'll find live conditions from my station "Edgewood", along with much more accurate forecast data than anywhere else.
yes – do sth else with this great tree – the composite like mark S. johnson sounds well.
