| Guarding the cabin |
|
 |
|
| We hadn't treated the cabin's wood in about 8 years & the cedar was starting to look pretty ratty. Rather than clear preservative, we decided to add color - forest green with (eventually) dark red trim. Not bad for the first day's work. |
|
 |
|
| A few weeks later, we stained the other two sides. Still have the porch and trim to go... |
|
 |
|
| Quite a contrast with this pic taken 6 weeks earlier! |

| Was heading back when I noticed the star pattern of the setting sun. I lined up a few shots before the effect disappeared. |
|
 |
|
| It's hard to shoot a sunset at our cabin, being on a south-facing ridge in deep woods. |
