Cool guys!

Dax

I googled my lot, and it is a poor resolution. The pilot must have flown much higher as with Dave's house because my development is hilly and in a half mile there is a water tower. Sorry!
Bernd

Ain't showing mine, its a mess, mixture of long grass and melted snow, and one small conifer

Ken, that looks like my car in the drive.

Not much to look at here, unlike the other Dave and Ken's landscapes. I've only been here three-years though. My land is to the south of the driveway and house (left to right) - although I do have a screen of T.o. Hetz Wintergreen to the left of my driveway. Behind my home is a small-collection of mainly cultivars (you'll see the white dots or circles...) the rest of the lot continues left to right (north to south) and is a rectangular lot that is six-ares. The deciduous trees almost draw a line thru the center of my acreage and they are at the lowest point on all the property... there's an elevational change of 9m or 27' from the road that intersects with my driveway to the beginning of the deciduous trees... then at the furthest point of my property (toward my backyard) it continues to drop another 6m or 18'. All in all, ~15m or 44'. Rolling hills accompany the aesthetic as they gently run north & south.

Thanks ken. This is an old map and the zoom isn't as good as your guys' places, but I certainly agree the color is unequaled. The orange placemark is north of my property, so look south and my house sits back off the road. That photo appears to be summer of 07 when my house was being built. There's no turf around the house and the lot is full of prairie plants. Another search of my previous-home still showed my greenhouse which was removed in 08.

ken, your neighbors sure liked that crimson king maple!

Impressive view btw.

Ken, that looks like you're on 5-6 acres as well? I like the arial shot.

I looked at mine on google and bing and it's a winter shot done about 3 years ago.....all brown and far from what it looks like today.

I'm waiting on addresses for Bluespruce and Coniferjoy to show up and post. Now those are overheads I really want to see!!

Hi Mark
This is my areal shot, it's from 4 or 5 years ago.

Man, I wished Google had taken a closer more detailed shot. Edwin, have you tried pulling your address up on Bing Maps?. I think their shot would be clearer.

Otherwise, I'm assuming your gardens are to the left of the house in that shot? And if I'm seeing correctly, if all that nursery also to the left of the house going vetically in the shot are yours as well, that's quite an operation you've got going there.

Tried bing, it just brings up a couple of business listings in my area, no maps. Google maps for me every time, at least from my phone
