tree trunk carved to look like boars running through the forest
Next to the Boars pen was this incredible bench, carved from a tree trunk into wild boars running through the woods. Pure craftsmanship, feels alive 🌲🐗✨

Picture of beautiful, clear water in the river. I stopped on a bridge to take a photo. An elderly man, who was concerned for me, thought I was a jumper...
I did something I've never done before.
Driving over the bridge, it looked so beautiful that
I pulled my truck over and got out to take some pics.
I heard frantic screams coming from an elderly man.
"Lady don't jump" was directed at me.

Picture of a sunset. Says: thank you for all on here standing up to a Charlatan President. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything.
To my friends on BlueSky : a little thank you,
for your insight, your courage, and your strong will,
in standing up to a Charlatan President...

Two geese I call Bella and Lugosi, are in the back by the river. Soon she will give birth to adorable babies. Only drawback, they wake me up too early in the morning ....
Good morning, Bella and Lugosi are back.
And within weeks will hatch her eggs back here....
I luv seeing all the tiny newborn following them around.
Only drawback, they insist on waking me up way too early...

Picture of a roaring fire in a wood stove. On April fools, Mother Nature plated a joke. Warm in the morning, with the AC on....and cold at night needing a fire...
Yesterday Mother Nature played a joke on me for April Fools.
In the morning, it was so warm I wore a tee shirt and jeans; and put the AC on.
In the evening, it was so cold, we made a roaring fire.
Thanks... "you mother" ...

A close-up photograph of a large, pristine white swan captured in a moment of tranquil foraging. Its body, a voluminous mass of brilliant white feathers, dominates the central and lower portions of the frame. Its long, elegant neck is submerged entirely beneath the dark, rippling surface of the water, disappearing toward the lower-left corner. Only a small, curved portion of the upper neck remains visible as it plunges downward, creating soft, concentric ripples that disrupt the otherwise glassy surface. The swan's back is a smooth, rounded mound of densely packed plumage, displaying a subtle texture of individual feathers that catch the light, revealing delicate shadows and highlights that give the bird a sculptural, three-dimensional quality.The water surrounding the bird is a deep, moody blue, almost appearing navy or charcoal in the shadowed areas. Its surface is alive with intricate patterns of light and shadow, with gentle swells and crests reflecting a cool, diffused light. The contrast between the swan's luminous white form and the dark, liquid environment is stark and captivating, drawing the viewer's eye immediately to the bird's graceful posture. In the upper-left and upper-right corners, the water's surface reflects the surrounding environment with shimmering, abstract shapes of lighter blue and grey from a bright but slightly overcast sky and nearby foliage. The composition is tight, focusing the viewer's attention on the physical presence of the swan and the rhythmic movement of the water. The overall atmosphere is one of serene focus, capturing a quiet, private moment in the life of this majestic waterfowl as it searches for food beneath the surface. The light is soft and even, highlighting the soft curves of the swan's back and the fluid, ever-changing nature of the water that cradles it. No other elements distract from this central subject, emphasising the swan's solitary grace and the simple beauty of its natural behavior in its aquatic habitat.
