John and I are all about repurposing things… whether it is a hunk a wood we make into a table or a slab of rock into a bench. We love nature and using it for new and interesting useful things. During our visit to France we went to this…

I’ve said it before, everyone looks for something different in a vacation. For some it might be a golf course, or white river rafting, maybe shopping or big adrenaline adventure. For us, we like to see and experience something new. We like the relaxation of walking around taking it all…

People think we have rocks in our heads for some of the projects we do. But the rocks aren’t it our heads… they are in our trailer. More specifically, they start with a need (like a mossy rock wall), or just a ‘find’, like these. We saw these rocks and…

We just got back from the Grand Canyon – South Rim hoping to get some great storm cloudy pix. It’s difficult if not impossible to schedule a trip around a storm, as getting reservations at the Canyon can be it’s own difficult task. But we managed to get last minute…

Continue reading →: Buck Personality
The more I study the animals, the more I am convinced that they each have their own personality. The males of the species are much more spooky, while the females are more docile. We caught this nice little buck enjoying the day after a recent snow storm. He was soaking…
