I put up a sign

 the first of the wild wood signs I'm thinking of putting a few up in different langauges, you can't be too cautious,

 I've allways liked photographing different tree bark textures heres an old and a young pine of the same type,,,, speaks volumes

 this tree has grown in a stange way a pine bouquet

 theres two neglected lime trees there that I plan to prune and place a sculpture underneath

 still ice on the puddle non on the bowls

something set of the camera but I don't know what

firing the kiln

 so yesterday I loaded up the kiln

 I fired it for 5 hours

 flames coming out of the chimney after four and a half hours

 prepared a sign for the wood

 this morning I opened up the kiln

 and these are some of the results

 quite windy in the wood leaves blowing into the bowls

all the camera captured was this cats tail

blackbird singing in the dead of the night

 this blackbird just got in the picture

 I was a bit late aucoustier today as I've been firing up the kiln results tomorrow 

soft evening light in the woods

 this mushroom sculpture is slowly disguising itself

 those cats go backwards and forwards but not on the bridge

 the boar has been digging among the young olive trees but is it art?

I wonder where the sun will set on the winter solstice

blue tits ,jays an unidentified bird and wolf tracks?

 a visit from a blue tit and another unidentified bird

 the jay is still around

 tracks in the sand some people say there are wolves on the ventoux!

 the ice has melted on the bowls

but the puddles are still icy

sun creeping over the ventoux

 living on the north side of the Ventoux means the sun comes over the hill a bit late on during two months of the year but at least it comes ! taken about 10am

 loading the wood and will be firing the kiln soon

slowly melting ice on the bowls

jays

 two jays were on the bowl

 in the night a pine marten I think , first time he's been down here

 inconclusive tracks in the sand

 here the ice is melting

 this bowl broke in two after spending 2 weeks in the sea at cap d'ail I stuck it together again but it still leaks

thsi giraffe sculpture exibited at 'greoux les bains' and 'moustier st marie' along with several others may move up to the woods but the cat does not agree

someones been digging

 this dog was back again to investigate the digging

 this bird , a jay I think seems to be staring at the camera(you need to enlarge the picture to see)

 still ice on the bowls

 someone has been messing around here but I don't know who (I need another camera)

 the soil on the bridge is frozen solid so no tracks,I've spread some sand to see if theres any movement, an old trick reputably used localy  by jealous husbands to check if their wives were having visitors

this mushroom was nudged by an unappreciative visitor
