the camera is positioned on the tree in the middle at the end it won't pick up my movement here tho I could check tomorrow

 this bird hops

 this bird walks

 I could spend hours aranging leaves but its really not my thing

 maybe I prefer this

 the puddle sculptures are disappearing under the oak leaves , no acorns here apparently a bumper crop in england

this bowl has finaly got up the hill now I must place it

sand traps

 I've put flattened sand in several places now(cheaper than a camera) and animals and trees co-operate nicely in the project

 no rain for a while and the bowls are drying up , no ice despite a frosty morning

 the bridge ab=nd chair from different angles

 fresh cut and day old limewood showing the changing colour

the heavy gang are back

 

the heavy gang are back! this group of  wild boar came past to check out the art at 4am

 earlier on this hound came for a sniff about probably just as well for him that the boar weren't around

the leaves are falling rapidly with a bit of mistral wind today I'd smoothed over the sand and there were these hawthorn leaves 10min later

 
 here it looks like first a dog (fox?) then a cat and when they had gone the mouse came out

 

 that blackbird(?) came back for a better photo

I think its a female blackbird

 a female blackbird in the day no one going by at night

 the water level goes down quicker in some bowls than others

 lots of orchids in these woods in the spring ,something to lok forward to

 this old stump is ready to fall down its been the home to generations of insects

work in progress, it was quite warm today coats off

clearing around the lime trees

 these lime trees look a lot happier with the offshoots cut away and with a bit of pruning the should take of nicely in the spring

 they were probably planted by the current owners grandfather, picking the flowers for 'tisane' used to be a majour industry here.

 this tree trunk has been lying around for a few years we cut into it to see if it was still good for firewood ,it seems ok despite a few ants

 the trailer loaded up with firewood

no activity at the new camera site

getting overgrown

 the patch of sunshine looks like artificial lighting on this overgrown amphora the question is whether to clear around it or to leave nature to take over

 water levels going down in the bowls

 where the odd patch of frost survives the ice crystals ge longer every day

 I'm clearing round this lime tree that I am sure used to be pruned and harvested

attempt at a hepworth sculpture?

 what I thought was just an animal just eating the posidonia could in fact be an attempt at a barbara hepworth inspired sculpture

 thats up at the octupus's garden

 in several places in the woods I find these small bare patches of earth beside a sapling that has its bark stripped. I don't know whos doing it but it could be an idea for an installation

 this overhanging rock is a possible site for an artwork

 one of the few lavender plants left from the fields that used to be here

 a frosty morning

this hunting dog on the trail of something stopped by for a drink
