This is an outdoor shot of a restaurant during Covid. Diners often ate out in the cold, with only heavy plastic barriers framing patio areas.

It was very inviting when I pointed my camera up into the tree branches when I was on the other side of the fence. The first photo is looking back at the fence from the woods. Deciding to check out where our deer neighbors lived, I tried to walk through there the other day. The blackberry vines and branches told me - Nope!

from August 5, 2016: I saw of one of our local peacocks wandering around when I returned home a short while ago. They've been penned up for awhile, ever since the city announced a new rule about No chickens(?) It brought back the memory of Nate calling down to me from his upstairs bedroom quite a few years ago "Hey Dad! There's a peacock looking in my window!" "No.." "Yes, there is." I'm not sure how that critter got up there, through all of those branches, etc, but there he was, staring back at me." I think I'll go upstairs now, and see if I can take a photo to post here. We didn't have the window air conditioner back then.
