Wood Shed

This is our wood/drive shed I built using cedar poles, from the Ottawa Valley ice storm, as 2x4s and 4x4s.  The exterior is rough spruce from concrete forms, and the doors are cedar fence slats.

It's not big, about the size of a looney, but this rose is one of the very few in our gardens that the deer haven't eaten.

Painted Turtle

While we were fishing last week, Killer caught this painted turtle using a hook and worm.  Fortunately for the little guy, the hook was easily removed, and he was soon on his way.
