OK, you're going to have to use your imagination for this one.

This grafted bush/tree was here when we purchased the house and, remarkably, has grown barely if at all since then.

Our daughter loves elephants. She was seven when we moved here and quickly dubbed it the "marching elephant". We adults saw the elephant part easily enough but had to have the marching part explained. She had noticed that it looked different as the sun moved across the sky. The power of a child's observation.

I particularly like seeing it backlit by strong morning sunshine. Such was the case on Monday. Nature puts on shows for us all the time. It's up to us to stop and appreciate them.

The low-voltage outdoor lighting and timer box are included for Paul's particular enjoyment. Springing ahead tomorrow.
