The wind blew peacefully through the trees. Birds chirped, squirrels chattered, and the sound of leaves falling could be heard in the thick, beautiful forest of southern Lenfald. Bits of red and orange were beginning to appear in the treetops. The forest was changing, green was giving way to red.
Sir Glennian reflected on this as he and his companions treaded, almost silently, on the old forest road. So many things had happened recently, the once peaceful land of Roawia was now aching with the pains of conflict and turmoil, and the only plausible outcome seemed to be war. Loreos, only few miles walk southward, was now threatening invasion. Green did indeed seem to be giving way to red.
Sounds of people now reached Sir Glennian’s ears, and he saw they had almost reached their destination. As he came around a bend in the path, he saw it, not a hundred yards ahead of him. A deep hole had been dug in the center of the path, nearly fifteen feet deep, and men could be seen swarming around it.
“Foreman!” Sir Glennian shouted.
All the workers turned and noticed their visitors, and a stout man in a green cloak turned to greet them. He had a thick, curly, brown beard covering his smiling face, which was topped with thick, curly, brown hair.
“Ah, you are here at last!” He greeted them. “We have made much progress on the work. As you can see, the hole is over a dozen feet deep. Just an hour ago the blacksmith arrived with the spikes that will be stuck in the bottom. Then we will cover it with branches spread over with dirt, and the next Loreesi scum who comes through here-”
He broke off with a large wave of his hand, indicating the destruction the Loreesi would face.
Glennian nodded. “Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.”
He looked forlornly down the path. Somewhere in that direction was a great desert…one in which war was brewing, a war that, he feared, Lenfald could never be completely ready for.

Well, I was going to enter this into the last Lenfald LC, but I obviously didn’t finish it in time. Congrats to Gary and Paul on the wins! ;)
Soli Deo Gloria! :)
Two girls and two boys; 2 dark and 2 light .
Also 1 elder and 1 young pup.
And 2 siblings and 1 cousin
….with the biggest chow hounds being good old Dolly dachshund and the voracious growing boy The Dude.
Feeding order: pup, elder, sister, brother. So, clockwise from top right, we have Castor The Dude, Bella The Sister, Dolly The Elder Doxie, and Duffy The Brother.
As for the relationships of my little family group, Bella is the Queen; she insists on respect and bed privileges.
Brother Duffy is the Protector of All, and my travel companion. Dolly dachshund is the Playgirl and lover of Toys.
Then we have my youngest, The Dude, still working out his destiny and place in the pack. His current interest is exploring everything, everywhere, all the time….digging the dirt…splashing the full water bowl…dumping flower pots…bringing pebbles and shells to his bed…hiding my shoes under my bed…peering into the bathtub…napping in my reading chair…and following his mentor Duffy everywhere.
What did I ever do without him!
Oxford Diecast 1/76 - 763CX001 - JCB 3CX Eco Backhoe Loader
Think of a digger and this is probably what comes to mind, the latest version of the famous JCB 3CX, excellently modelled by Oxford. It is quite a feat of miniature engineering with the full range of movement at both ends just like the real thing, Oddly though, Oxford put all the movements into the front forks and then glued them in the stowed position folded on top of the bucket so I had to unstick them.
Digging through some shots i have taken recently i found these three shots, this silhouette of a sparrow framed against a pale blue sky and the bokeh of the tree branches in the background was a great capture.
