In an old barn, on an island in the middle of the Finnish Archipelago.
Not entirely sure what the proper name for the machine is. A seed drill?
A Chickadee leaves a trail of seeds on take off from a Cattail/ Bullrush. I added a bit of canvas on the right side for composition and removed a little less on the left side so the shot is larger than full frame....Canon 7D and 500F4

"He said, ‘Imagine a sower going out to sow. As he sowed, some seeds fell on the edge of the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Others fell on patches of rock where they found little soil and sprang up straight away, because there was no depth of earth; but as soon as the sun came up they were scorched and, not having any roots, they withered away. Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Others fell on rich soil and produced their crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Listen, anyone who has ears!’" – Matthew 13:3-9, which is part of today's Gospel.

"The sowing" is the name of out work for "Digital is Art. Art is Digital", they called it Delicatessen, but most of you know that is the general name of our sims, this particular work is called "The sowing"
I found some piglets foraging near the edge of a track and got down on my belly, ready for some clear shots when they ventured out onto the track.
Instead, the sow, which had seen me decided to come and check me out.
As I was on the ground I didn't look intimidating and she came to within 2 metres of me.
You always have to remember that these animals are wild and can be unpredictable and dangerous, but I have never seen aggression from them.

Best viewed large. All rights reserved. This young sow was out in wonderful light but a huge wind storm with gust that felt like 60 mph! You can see by her fur that she did not escape this wind. I had a terrible time just keeping her in the frame due to the gusts!
"High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man
And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast
D.J.'s the man we love the most
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracry ?
As the headline says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues
And anything is possible when you're Sowing the Seeds of Love
Anything is possible - Sowing the Seeds of Love"

I need to grow a few inches so I can get over the close brush rather than having to shoot through it.
Sow and her two cubs at Katmai.
“If you’re a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate, you’re supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.
If you’re a bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you’re sleeping and wake to partially grown, but cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.
If you’re a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.
If you’re a bear, your mate expects you to wake up growling. He expects that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.
Yup, I wanna be a bear.” ~ Author unknown
I listened for an hour or so as this sow harshly reinforced her very recent heave ho to her yearling, she kept him up a large white pine for the entire time as he bawled his dismay. Sows will not tolerate their male offspring in their range after they've been sent packing....
A sow grizzly bear keeps a close eye out for anyone coming too close to her cub. Thank God for long lenses!
Photograhed in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.
In this photo-montage, the Williamson's Sapsucker(l.) did a great job of drilling sap holes, much to the delight of a Red-breasted Nuthatch(r.) who would steal an insect snack when the Sapsucker left the tree for a few moments. I observed this behaviour, in pouring rain, for about forty-five minutes.
