A few photographs from home.

The three deer photos show them feeding from me putting out COB (corn, oats, barley) each morning soon after it is light.

Of course, typically the morning I took my camera out there were just four deer. Usually there between seven and fifteen and a couple of months ago a friendly stag in getting to the COB as I was pouring it out rubbed his right antler on my right leg.

Feeding my friends!

A ‘new’ home.

For the last two days we have had some major tree work done.

A couple of weeks ago, our neighbour Clarence came across to our land to point out a dying pine. It was alongside the house together with two other trees, another pine and a fir. The pines were over a hundred feet tall.

They had to come down reasonably quickly otherwise they would crash into the roof with terrible consequences.

Clarence recommended a company, August Hunicke Arborists Inc., and August came round to give us an estimate.

And on Tuesday and Wednesday they came to do the job. They had a great deal of equipment plus lots of experience. They were four of them. And the two pines were very far gone.

At the end of the project I took two photographs and here they are:

August is on the far right of the group.

It was not cheap but they did an excellent job.
