The Driveway, Extended

When I got the first part of the driveway finished in late 2008, I was unsure where the house site would be and thus didn’t know the route of the driveway. I made that decision early last summer and a neighbor cut the trees in the way for firewood. Unless the house site changes, which is not too likely, the driveway as built now is pretty much what it will look like in 10 years. Of course, I may add native plant beds along the sides to dress it up! Or maybe blackberry and other small, fruiting plants. Nice way to lure the black bears within photography distance, eh?

The route looked pretty ugly last fall, after the trees were cut down, but now that the driveway is finished, I think it looks very nice!
