A close up of Bruce doing what he does best!
To get this shot, I had to get right in there with him, sat in a stream with water up to my chest.

Green Bay & Western 312 on train #1 is making a setout at Seymour WI. and passes the former GBW depot turned museum in June 1978.
Another shot from a visit to one of my favourite glens, there will be quite a few to follow as the deer were so accommodating.
The wild deer are almost tame in part of the glen and it is a true privilege to be able to see these beautiful deer at close quarters.
This lovely hind was very comfortable in our presence making this an extremely enjoyable experience.
Red Deer - Cervus Elaphus

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
For over 40 years, my husband has been turning wood into works of art that make beautiful music. Here he is in his shop routing a guitar body.
I am having (slow) fun making a roomset for my Sindy dolls. I am using one floor of a 1980's Pedigree Sindy house but I am not using the pre-printed card walls.
I painted an extremely discoloured plastic Sindy shelf/room divider with Annie Sloan chalk paint in "Duck Egg Blue".......I am thrilled with the difference it has made to it.
Monty the mouse is trying to convince Linus of his qualities. So far Linus isn't very impressed. He'd probably be more interested if Monty was a real mouse. On the other hand he often treats him like a real mouse, hits him on the head and tries to bite Monty's head off, but Monty is a tough mouse and doesn't give up easily. :)
Making happy memories with my family whilst on holiday, this was taken today on a real gem of a beach called Crantock Beach - utterly beautiful.

I haven't been on flickr in a little over a week, except to upload e few random photos, but it feels like its been forever! which I think is a bad sign. But I'm still not going to be commenting much because I'm so busy with school stuff.
My teachers went on strike on thursday, so suddenly we have a very long weekend, since there is just no point to going to school anymore. Its a nice break:)
And thank you thank you thank you so much to

One unexpected bonus of picking up a digital camera after retiring has been the interactions I have had with thousands of people, online and at shows where I exhibited photographs of barns and wildlife. My initial intentions in buying my first camera were simply to explore a hobby I had always had an interest in, but never had the time to engage.
My gruff German dad would laugh if he were alive to see my subject emphasis. He always told me that if I spent as much creativity working in the barn as I did in trying to find ways to avoid it, I would be very valuable.
The hours I have spent reading and listening to older country folks reminisce about their lives as they struggled with having nothing when they started farming to making a decent living later on were inspiring.
Decades ago, a simple house like this one nestled in the green shade of summer was the dream of a young couple starting out. When they built this small farmhouse, the attached garage was likely an afterthought, a homemade addition crafted from spare boards and nails, yet it felt like a luxury.
Back then, cars were often left outside to face the rain and snow, and an attached garage meant you could step from the kitchen to your car without immediately facing a brutal Minnesota winter morning.
Attached garages only became popular in the U.S. around the 1940s and 50s, when the automobile became the centerpiece of family life. Before that, detached barns or sheds were common, sometimes doubling as storage for farm tools and chickens.
For a couple living in this house, adding that garage must have felt like a sign they were “making it,” turning a simple farmhouse into something more modern.
Inside these walls, you can imagine children growing up, their muddy boots lined by the door after chores, the scent of wood smoke drifting from the stove. The back porch, though weathered now, once echoed with laughter on summer evenings and the hum of a screen door slamming after little feet ran out to chase fireflies.
Though the years have passed and the trees have quietly crept closer, this house still whispers the story of hard work, determination, and a family who called this modest place their forever home.
It’s not popular today in some circles to talk about the ill effects it has on younger people when they begin their young adult years already possessing cars, houses, and bank accounts that took their parents 40 years to attain.
But amid our prosperity, there are still older folks who wistfully recall the satisfaction they felt when they started with little but gradually built a life, a family, and a heart full of memories they would not exchange for anything.
