You know that feeling of being watched you get when you're "alone" in the woods....you're not alone, someone, something, is always lurking....
This almost looks edible....

Stump with fungi growing on it....
Scream- The Backcountry Version...
Peaceful- sounds great.
Surrounded by cedars, smells great!

What a score!!!!
Cruising along a fire road in the mighty Suzuki and I spot this sticking up out of the ground. Ten minutes of digging yields this slab of rock. It's 66" long, about 21" deep, and 3" thick. I'm thinking coffee table, bench for a front entry, shelf, something like that. I think I'll get a hold of my blacksmith friend and see about getting some kind of wrought iron base made for it. I splashed some water on to give an idea as to the colours but when I polish it and use some slate sealer they'll really pop.
BTW- very heavy, had to use a 5' pry bar and a ramp to get it in the Suzuki.

You could make it part of a nice sitting bench for the garden you're starting, or a vanity for The Kid?

This is an awesome idea- going to have to do some Googling. There's a credenza her Mom owns that just popped into my mind who's style I'd like to emulate.

Dude. SHORTS?! Damn, what the hell do they feed the men in Canada? I'd be an Evesicle within five minutes.
I'm sorry WWC, nothing I'd like to do more that standing watching you pull the car out and shouting encouragement. You keep some drinks in the back? Thirsty work shouting encouragement you know.
Squirrel BBQ for dinner is it?

Thanks for the encouragement WallFlower, seems like it takes dozens of shots to find one or two worth keeping. I'm just an enthusiastic amateur figuring it out as he goes along. If you want to see really great pictures on ALL have a look at anniks pics (what Stienbeck is to writing she is to photography IMO) or LonelyinAtlantas contributions.

Thought I'd put a few shots from yesterday's ramble up- there's more for later but decided to start with these for now.
I spotted this Barred Owl (or was it him spotting me?) and when he flew off I followed along....
....and found my first wildflower of the year (a western trillium from the lily family)...
....an unusual way for a tree to grow- this little spruce is growing off the decaying remains of a cottonwood....
....same tree but I put my iPhone there to give a size frame of reference....
....an almost thirty year old tribute to a beloved pet....
....a spot of colour on the ground....
....I hear a rustling noise behind me....
....he/she had climbed the riverbank below and was as startled as I was to find company, made a quick right to run away....
....but was blocked by my car so did a 180 turn, ran right at and by me, I managed to get one quick shot off- you can see the water dripping off it....
....my learning from that situation is that I need to find some kind of a small instant type camera that has capability to take multiple shots as I guy never knows what to expect. And wet moose isn't the most pleasant of smells.

They're all lovely, but I think I favor the wildflower.
That vivid bit of green and white life, surrounded by gray - stunning.

I love wandering game trails....
....A lightening struck cedar ravaged by time- would make a great Tim Burton movie prop....
....the other side of it (its about 30' high)....
....another mossy old cottonwood stump with a spruce growing on top of it....
....same with my iPhone there to put its size into perspective....
