This one is close to heaven. The so-soft transition between light and shadow, the bright but not too bright (because of the shadow) green, and the bits of red and brown to "ground" the image are what I love. Plus the invitation of the seemingly-private or deserted porch with it's view (no one's been mowing here in a while).
