Original landscape architects planted thousands of bushes and well over 280 trees, mostly birch and pine, growing in groves. Since 1988 people planted even more trees - including all other evergreen trees. The land was stable. The landscaping was valuable. On the surface and at the root.

We thought the tree leaves were beautiful.

Our spring and summer view (looking at leaves; not cats)



















St John's Wort and evergreen Cotoneaster
planted in the 1000s
provided easy-care ground cover

sheltered tree roots

perfect pavement in front of unit 409 in 2006 - except for added gas lines across the driveways - and a scar from when someone tried to add speed bumps on hills - where snow falls in winter

It was cool, quiet, clean - and pretty as a picture

To us the trees were a source of tremendous beauty
and enjoyment












We hung half a dozen mirrors to reflect the leaves









We couldn't help but love the trees















All our living room windows were beautiful



















No matter where we were looking
















Our view of autumn leaves













Our winter view of trees



















Covered in snow

Nice trees along Rambler Way for the 500 series
