Oh, that's so nice, North Star. Really took me into the mood of it, both the photo and the look of the logs. Why do you peel them? I'd be interested in learning about this. Meanwhile, here's a handsome soldier boy who was standing guard outside the Royal Palace in Stockholm:

Stockholm is a beautiful city, , a city of islands, sometimes called "the Venice of the North" (a Holm is an island in Swedish).

Very nice. Here are some logs I peeled the summer before last.
North Star,
I think that it is this abillity to discover the hidden magic of the homely landscape and bring out the patterns on objects that wouldn´t be noticed otherwise that make your pictures so interesting.

Thank you, Danik. Yes, I do think that it is important to properly see everything, even if our minds might very much prefer not responding to things we see all the time.
Well said. Walking just now found this little artifact on me driveway.

My parents are building a cabinet over at Lake Kitka, some of the logs were from trees that fell in a storm, some were cut down from where we will build, and the timber will be used in the building.
Yes, Mr ArchibaldWell said. Walking just now found this little artifact on me driveway.
, I like this picture of the gentle gift the bluebird left you.

Some photos of that project.... The place is a small cape, with a small bay on one side and a larger part of the lake to the other side, but the wider waters are further ahead, straight ahead from the cape, in the direction most of those scenery photos show. In the last photo, there's our outhouse on the right, and on the left there's our only neighbour.
Outhouse? You do mean just for while the construction's happening, right? Y'all will have indoor plumbing when the job's done, won't ye? ;-)

No plumbing, but we might make the outhouse more sophisticated, perhaps. Not that there's anything wrong with the outhouse as it is - it doesn't smell, and the compost makes a mighty powerful fertilizer.
An outhouse makes sense. Do you have running water or a hand pump for a well?
It looks like you have sawed the wood into planks on site. That's pretty cool.

Me, without plumbing, electricity and some wicked fast internet, I ain't going there no how. :-0 Now for some more Stockholm:

Of course we have Internet and electricity there.
We have a hydraulic pump and pump water from the lake, but we take our drinking water with us from the town.
