This is the newly formed ramada. Formerly a carport, we have turned it into a nice area for dining or just sitting. You're looking west, where the sun will set in a few hours.

Looking down from the office roof onto the back yard. The bare quarter-circle will turn into buffalo grass in a few months. The raised thing next to the pool is the spa.

Looking south to the Back 40. You can see some of the citrus trees, and the compost compound near our back fence.

These trees will grow to shade the office walls from the setting sun. Right now, they're just 6 feet high.

From the house, the office cuts a strong profile. The highest point on the wall is 18 feet.

The odd asymmetry is obvious here, but when you're closer it just looks like a lot of glass.

More front yard views. Mickey Mouse saguaro is doing well since he got water a few years ago.
