From a different angle - the tree directly at the right front is on my property and there is another one in back of where I stood to take this photo, at the corner of my yard. The pot on it's side is a broken chunk I got from Ace Hardware that they were throwing out, it is "over" the opening of the drainage ditch, aka Murmuring Creek. The grass and weeds (thistle in particular) have made themselves at home in the ditch. I did dig a bit of it up yesterday after I took this photo, but it is really going to be a lot of work. Sigh.

In front of the alders, to the right, is a large garden of nettles. I think I may spray some Roundup, although I normally do not, as it is just too many for me to try to pull without causing a lot of discomfort, and too much to try to cut down as well.

Edited to add: the tall evergreens in the back are much, much further away than they appear here. The property has quite a slope and they are basically towards or at the top of that.
