close up on the patio behind the main house
|
small brook right behind the main house
|
|
a good size tree I need to cut and move off the trail behind the main house
|
cool stuff at this time of year if you look closely!
|
spring growth popping up in the woods
|
|
the trail from the house to the barn where the two small brooks meet
|
Paul's bridge survived the winter well
|
cool stuff growing in the woods!
|
|
nature at work
|
some trees just beginning to bud out
|
the trail to the barn
|
|
the west brook behind the house
|
looking up at Tom and Meghan's house from the woods along the trail. a backyard view like this is one of the fringe benefits of running a horse camp!
|
more nature at work as the brook cuts deeper over the years taking down a tree here and there as it gets deeper
|
|
the east brook behind the house is slowly moving sideways around an unsuccessful attempt at a dam that my parents built in this spot over 50 years ago
|
a small waterfall taken at a slow shutter speed
|
same thing with a fast shutter
|
|
deer poop - it's EVERYPLACE at this time of year!
|
wild flowers coming up beside the house
|
shrubbery and a few spring bulbs coming up in front of the house
|
|
it'll only be a week or so now
|
the old temporary pole that the electric company will have to move this spring - yippee!
|
the mosses are some of the first things to show life in the spring sunshine
|
|
more life near the house
|
this old tractor tire has lived in this exact spot for maybe 20 years outside my workshop door - MAYBE this will be the year it moves to a permanent retirement home
|
a very clean tractor
|
|
bear with me - I spent hours checking all the grease fittings and fluids, and cleaning off a winter's worth of crud.
