High noon in the back yard

The back yard constantly beckons to have photos taken, even at high noon.  Whether in full sun, or with overcast, the two photos below were taken around noon time.  But to tell the truth, the photos are both actually composites created using photo stitching software on my computer.  They are best viewed if you click on them for enlargement.  The photo to the left is from my favorite viewing spot, close to the rose bed, and getting the full effect of the giant rose bushes in the background.  Two of the bushes, grown from seed, are now 8 feet tall, and a few more seedling roses rise to 7 feet.  The "photo" is really a composite of 4 photos, and is set up using the "matrix" feature of the software.  The result gives a pretty fair representation of what I actually see in person.  The stitched photo to the right speaks for itself, but in a language understood only by my avian friends.
