Sunlight and random findings

I love it when the sunrays stream through the trees in the morning!



This is the view from our bedroom balcony so I see these awesome rays every morning:







The guys who built our fence found this abandoned turtle shell in the creek:



We found this lovely snakeskin after one of the landscaping guys said he saw what he believed to be a rattlesnake slither under the house (I was paranoid about stumbling across the snake for the rest of the week!):



This rusty old shed was useless to us (it was falling over and the doors didn't close anymore) so we had it torn down (it was full of old paint cans and who knows what else):



The landscapers found all sorts of rusty metal things (car & refrigerator parts mostly) while clearing out our jungle:



Here's an old car (Craig said it was a Rambler) they found smashed and upside down in our yard:



Here's part of what appeared to be an old dog pen fence:



These manholes showed themselves once the underbrush was cleared away (Craig had the city come and look at them...we now know that there are active sewage pipes in our yard, but the manholes certainly hadn't been accessed in years because no one even knew they were there):
