There's a tree! It's a deck! It's big enough to put a hammock, trip on said hammock, and fall without smashing my face into any bars! It gets very little direct sunlight and is aging, but at certain times, I can lie in the sun on it. I will try to do that even more next year (while wearing proper sun protection mostly) to pursue my sun camel merit badge. I might also have to rig up something to let the diagonal neighbors know when I'm up there, as my ninja powers seem to accidentally conceal me, leading to several very awkward overheard conversations that left me trapped on the deck in desperate need of a bathroom break but unwilling to announce that I'd been there all along while they talked about things they wouldn't have talked about had they known I was there. I hope. I mean, maybe they would have. But I wouldn't have.
There are also dragonflies.
And then there was that time with the spider who built an invisible-in-the-indirect-light web across half the door only to end up with both of us scared half out of our wits after one of us blundered through it one summer morning, leaving me terrified of going out without first waving a sock-covered broom for weeks.
In conclusion: hammock, sunlight, dragonflies, WIN.
