Big Bird... a nesting pair of Trumpeter Swans that are a couple miles from the farm... the other morning they were up by the road... closest I've ever been to this pair... they are at least twice the size of a goose, & really close... you can see the edge of the paved road in the fore ground...

1998 ... Climbing in the Julian Alps of Slovenia, hunting Alpine Chamois " above the clouds" ***** Ken.... a photo you get one shot at, at an elevation most people never breathe. My mother described hiking the Swiss Alps before WW II with an alpinstalker; a half-century later a German called the stick a wunderstab (“voon-der-shtob”). David Bradshaw

Turned my first pen last week: Mesquite with "gold" hardware. Neither is my first choice of color but it's what was provided in the class. I hope to have the last of my equipment here by next week so I can start practicing my new hobby...

Turned my first pen unsupervised. A Manhattan style with Padauk: Then I went ahead and made another set for the boys. Same style with Padauk, just a different kit: Daughters-in-law and SiL have already put in requests.

My neighbor just put this up! That would last about a day on the road I live on. I put up 6 mail boxes in 10 years and finally gave up and got a P.O. Box. Nice job. It looks fantastic. Wonder what he is into!

I always thought that if my mailbox got used for batting practice I’d replace it with a cheapy filled with concrete and let the dweebs swing away. At least once!
