Thank you aym, thatching has been in my hubby's family for over 200 years, i worked for him, but now i do another job, it was very physical work and i struggled in the winter with the cold, my son has taken my place.
Lovely pics johnny, we do get deer in gardens out in the country, they eat peoples veg, trees, flowers, anything they can get too....
Just to support my complaint from yesterday about the heat and very strong winds, Hubby discovered a fallen eucalyptus on the hill behind the house. It's unfortunately fallen over one of our Stone Pines Pinus pinea. So, when the weather is suitable, he'll go up and chain saw the branches from the pine. (Can't use a chain saw on high fire days).
My friends have taught me some phrases, but I was adopted as a baby into a family that speaks English and Danish. I really didn't give my own heritage much thought until I was in my late 20s.
Sorry about the tree. I just realized that I have an instant reaction when I see such a thing. I saw your picture and the first thought in my head was, I bet there would be some great pieces for my aquariums.
I'm always on the lookout along the river for fallen trees or drift wood.
Interesting Johnny. You would have been welcome to any of it..I'm not sure if the sap would have been healthy for your fish. It would need to be dried out first I suspect.

We get the occasional visit from roe deer, this pair of fawns were foraging directly under our front window.
The Sun burning through the fog behind our house the other day. After a few days of thick fog it was good to see a bit of sunlight again.
aym,
No, we're cool now. Our fighting days ended when the Mounties came west. But I am a Metis (Cree/French) in Blackfoot country.
I think today I saw the best Chinook Arch ever.

Great picture. That little roe deer doesn't look very stressed out in the back of the pickup.
steephill,
Awesome sun and fog picture.

Johnny, like aym, I was ignorant of Chinook arches, and about the Cree people and their languages. Do you speak Cree?
Johnny - Googled "Chinook Arch" and can see clearly what you mean re photo. Fascinating info.
