Kate and I took a walk around the grounds the other day and brought along our cameras. Here's a selection of pictures. A very random selection, but here you go...
 |
| Little birdhouse in front of our place that a bird actually uses, thank you gracious Belgian bird! |
 |
| Very cool pillar that holds up our makeshift wire fence to our little backyard! |
 |
| Another pillar with our living room window in the background |
 |
| Yes this is a grave stone. It was found in the moat a few summers ago. It now sits on the low wall to our garden. The names appear to be Spanish and family members with young children, all who died in 18-something. Creepy Cool. |
 |
| A decorative piece out in the back. The kids have nicknamed her "Snail Boobs". Because she once had a snail on her boob. Makes sense. |
 |
| Part of the Magic Tree, all pretty and mossy |
 |
| Hello Brian! Cheering us on with a Belgian brew |
 |
| This is the side of the barn that is now our neighbors' house. Isn't it cool? It includes the five story tower. |
 |
| Our house from the back |
 |
| Pretty gate at the Phillips' house...some great neighbors |
 |
| Old gate detail |
 |
| Donkey girls |
 |
| I love old rusty stuff |
 |
| Gentile, the sweetest of all the sheep. Pronounced "JohnTee" because she is French. |
 |
| Dirty rain barrels, rusty metal and mossy old barn wood makes for a pretty picture I think. |
 |
| Old hay rack in the barn |
 |
| Just another old door laying around these parts. Did I mention I love old stuff? |
 |
| Sign being used as part of a makeshift pen for future lambs. |
 |
| Gentile again. |
 |
| Sheep food |
 |
| Kate getting a picture of the ducks |
 |
| Our boy |
 |
| Anxiously waiting for someone to throw his stick. |
 |
| Magic Tree in winter |
 |
| The kids all have "workshops" out at the tree. |
 |
| The Magic Tree is a natural jungle gym |
 |
| Pretty rusty old thing |
 |
| Chestnut fallen from Magic Tree |
 |
| Super old pillars or something in the ground |
 |
| This chunk of the tree fell two years ago. |
 |
| Trunk of the 800 year old chestnut tree |
 |
| Old Whiskey barrel |
 |
| Living room window, you can kind of see the Christmas Tree with our weak display of 220V lights from IKEA |
 |
| My attempt at craftiness. A little shriveled now but they looked pretty good several weeks ago when they were fresh |
 |
| Welcome |
 |
| We still haven't figured out what this old thing is but we like it. |
There you go...some of the pictures are blurry since I am forcing myself to only use manual settings for these kinds of shots. Obviously I have a long way to go in mastering the art of photography! Practicing is fun though...

I did comment on this post a while back and it did not "stick"... :-(
