Stopping to Appreciate the View

As I was finishing up my work outside yesterday evening, I turned toward the house and saw the most amazing view.  The sun was shining and making our pecan tree GLOW!  I pulled my trusty point-and-shoot camera from my pocket, to capture the scene so I could share it with all of you.

I love this view because it shows the enormous size and the MAJESTY of this tree.  The pavilion is cool and shaded, cradled beneath the huge branches.  It is a great spot to sit with friends ... and the perfect setting for our daughter's wedding. 

We are almost done with our modifications to the pavilion, and I will share the befores and afters with you soon.  For now, I have to switch gears to finish the last few things to prepare for my Open House on Saturday.  Are you coming?
