Before: This is one of three places in our yard where a mixture of honeysuckle, wild grapevine, and wild rose had taken over. Used to be we kinda liked the natural look, but it had become too much. Besides, I think the neighbors didn't care much for it.
After: I removed this bramble bush area plus two more not shown. Also I took out wild grapevine along about 150 feet of fence. Not only did I cut and pull the growth out, I cut it up and bagged it so that it could be taken away and made into compost. There's still work to be done, removing a maze of honeysuckle roots, but the main part is done. Does it look better? Perhaps a matter of opinion--it's a work in progress.
My dad used to sing the song...
The bear went over the mountain...
To see what he could see...
And all that he could see...
Was the other side of the mountain...
The other side of the mountain was all that he could see.
Well, this is what the other side of the mountain looks like.

We went Jams for breakfast and sat at one of the tables in the patio area.
Cloud Gate, aka "The Bean," is a is a prominent feature of Chicago's Millennium Park.
The Crown Fountain in Millennium Park is especially fun after dark. We were there on an especially warm evening, and Miles enjoyed getting soaked by the cascading water.
This is why I arise early.
It's sunrise over Lake Kabetogama in northern Minnesota. The air is cool, and there is a bit of a breeze. It is very quiet, except for the beautiful, sad call of the loon, as it swims across the reflection of a rising sun.
