I thought the same thing.  A little of the old Coonass is still with us.

Actually I was being modest about the "same old things." 

I just got in from a wonderful evening and I am wearing a sapphire blue
Valentino.

P.S.  Ok....I have had a glass or two of champagne....but those don't
look like the same trees in the winter and summer pictures of your
house.  

Anybody agree?

Smitty is the king of landscaping, but even he couldn't manage this!
Are these photos 25 years apart, or a Photoshop modification?
That 40-year-old pine tree (summer pic) is not in the winter pic, and vice versa for the oak trees at right, plus the shrubs and yard levels differ.

Is this, as the Cajuns say, 'an optical delusion'?

Yes it does, could be the angle?  I dont know really, I pulled both of those off the web listing ...

The winter pic must be the most recent.  No way you could grow a huge pine tree there. 
It's so odd; I wonder if the newer image was corrected for distortion.  Look at the difference in the symmetry of the roof lines.  The summer pic makes the right roof look longer than left.  The winter pic makes the roof look symmetrical.

I studied those pictures myself when they were posted.  I came to the conclusion that the primary difference is the camera angle.  The 2 oaks on the right that form a V in the winter pic are all the way over on the left in the summer pick.  If you look closely, you can see the V toward the top of the summer pic, meaning the leaning tree is more obscured by the tree in the foreground.  So the huge pine tree in the summer pic is out of frame to the right in the winter pic.  There also appears to be at least some time passage between the two pics, judging by the size of the shrubs next to the house.

I also know of some real estate agents who will occasionally photoshop a tree out of a picture if it is blocking the view of the house, but I don't think that is the case here.

[Crimson Phoenix]

Wow....that HUGE pine tree between the two far windows is completely
hidden in the winter picture.  There is only a space there.  Who would have thought.     

Also, the main oak tree no longer branches out at the top (near the peak of the roof).  It now goes straight up.

But I believe you SUPERCOACH!

I looked up the listing.  The big pine tree is indeed there in the summer photos (pic 20 of 21).  And from the pic-20 view, the tree appears farther from the house than from the street view.

I believe you are correct, SC.  E-cred and
