Thanks for the link. I will check it out. The haze is just really bad sun glare. I didn't realize it was that bad until I got done and want to post the pictures.you can't tell by the pictures but I put a really thick layer of leaves down. Hopefully I won't have to pull weeds now.
Smoke trees are awesome my wife got that for me. She wanted to get me a fringe tree but couldn't find one so she got that instead.
