a bubbling fountain

 After last nights rain the water is bubbling into the sanglier bowl. Après la pluie il y a des bulles sur le bol du sanglier

 more wood being loaded for the next kiln firing. Chargement du bois pour la prochaine allumage du four a poterie
 Despite the rain this bol hasn't filled much. Malgre la pluie le niveau d'eau n'a pas beaucoup changé
 The puddles filled a bit. Les flaques d'eau se sont remplis

another pine cone

 theres a pine cone I hadn't noticed lurking in this bowl.  
Je n'ai pas remarqué le pomme de pin dans ce bol

 this bundle of twigs from the beach at Cap D'ail is slowly dissapearing. ce fagot de bois flotté de la plage de Cap D'ail se fond dans le paysage
 I saw a wren in the bushes behind this puddle, maybe I'll try the camera trap here; J'ai vu un troglodyte dans les buissons derriére ce flaque d'eau, un endroit pour essayer le camera piège
The remains of a jay, someone had a meal. Les restes d'un Geai, quelq'un a bien manger

memory of summer.

 back in july a male roe deer . c'etait en juillet un chevreuil
 this slightly pink bowl was made in joucas. un bol fabriqué a Joucas
 this stump would be a good site for a sculpture. Un possible site pour placer un sculpture
 a friend wrote about stumperies a victorian idea a bit like a rockerie but made of stumps for growing ferns, here there are naturel ones but I could build one  as well. Une amie m'a parlé de 'soucheries' un idée Victorienne un peu comme des rocailles mais planté avec des fougéres, ici il y en a des souches, je pouvais en fabriquer une

lots of tracks

 there are lots of tracks but no photos on the camera trap



 this pine has been decorated by the needles of its neighbor

 there seems to be an alternative path forming to avoid the bridge
 out of the woods its a different world, that smoke in the distance is just below where the municipal tip used to be thankfully these matters are managed better nowadays

the lost key and other stories

 the animals are quiet at the moment maybe I'll move the camera, this bowl is another one where the water doesn't go stagnant
 no, not a deers antler, just a tree trunk with ideas
 quite a lot of these around will keep an eye on their developement
 the yellow leaves stand out at the moment

 the lost key, here it is dangling from my pocket yesterday(its the key of the padlock that secures my camera trap)
 still ther at this point
 I've dropped it, the green band is just visible on the ground
and there it was this morning (after much searching)

a speck of yellow

 that little speck of yellow caught my eye so this seldom photographed bowl was photographed
 that green gets murkier every day
 I never tire of this view here you can see the bowls to the right
 shelter here on a rainy day , if you are small enough
 rabbit droppings ? I've never seen a rabbit here
removed the fence around the tunnel sculptures
