    From a bike ride yesterday. Old stone walls are a sign that the land was once cleared for farming.

    Old stone walls absolutely fascinate me. When you think about the man/beast hours spent tilling fields, removing the stones, bringing the stones to the sight, and then stacking all of them, it's mind boggling.
    People were definitely a heartier breed then.

    Although when the West opened up, the populations of a lot of New England towns plummeted. “Farmland with no rocks? Pack the wagon, Martha — we’re outa here!”

    I too am enamored with old stone walls.
    Come, mother, come! For terror is thy name, death is in thy breath, and every shaking step destroys a world for e'er. Thou 'time', the all-destroyer! Come, O mother, come!

    "People were definitely a heartier breed then." That's no shit. I was told by a very old man that in those days the term, "able-bodied man" had an actual definition. He could pick up and carry 100 pounds a mile.

    Went for a walk in the woods yesterday with a tripod, my Oly E-M10ii, and a Panasonic 14-42 kit lens. I decided to try and get one of those long-exposure water shots where the water blurs into mist (or nearly so). I had a couple ND filters, but couldn't get the camera to take a good picture through them, so I shot this without the filter at iso 200. Because it was overcast, it mostly worked out.

    I built a deer feeder a few weeks ago now that we no longer have a dog. My Griff used to get pretty excited when deer came into yard so I didn't promote that.

    I took this shot this morning. They amble through about once a day now. Mostly unfenced property in my neighborhood.

    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    Got out on the bike for an hour this afternoon. It’s forecast to rain all weekend and we won’t get many more days like this.
