That's right nice Jules. I am in the middle of a forest, so all I see for 360 degrees are pine trees.

RE: What is in your back yard??
Juliet...I have a small cabin, located in the Lincoln National Forest, in New Mexico. It is famous for being where Smokey the Bear was found. Smokey is/was the symbol of our National Fire Safety campaign (Only you can prevent forest fires.) My patch is on the slope of a 12,000 ' mountain ( Sierra Blanca ), at around 7,000 ' and it is very densely populated with old-growth Pines. On any given morning I can look out into my "back" yard and see bear, bobcat, marten, badger, deer, elk, and many kinds of birds (including all types of corvid, my favorite !)
As to what year I live in...well that is debatable. With no T.V., radio, internet (I at library now ), or newspaper I feel as if I am in the dark ages. Having been a prisoner in a bad relationship for the last twenty years puts my emotionally-stunted era back in the 80's...I feel like I did when I was a confused, disoriented and naive twenty-year-old. As to pics, well I do not have the camera/cell phone to take pics with, and I am ignorant of how to transfer images, even if I had them. My first priority upon establishing a life is to gain said ability, since I am in a very beautiful and unique part of the world. I also cannot wait to make a banner for my posts. Alas, I am an e-peasant. I thank you for sharing all of the great photos you have and you make Great Britain / United Kingdom / England look really amazing. Floting lazily down a canal sounds idyllic, and I wish I was there. Pace, Gris.

Although it's not nearly as nice as Juliet's, my lil shack in L'Ville Georgia.
View from the deck, there is a small creek down there if you look closely:

My little creek, I like it..

QB40 I am liking your back yard!! :-)
Raven I am impressed ..seriously impressed!! :-)
I have always loved log cabins and I would be happy to live in one ..I have stayed in several and they are warm and cosy ..not how people imagine at all .. as to your location it sounds like a veritable paradise from your description ... I love places that are timeless ..you could be standing in your cabin looking out at the forest around you and it could just as well be 1808 ..I can almost smell that fresh forest air and oh the photographic potential with all that wildlife ..it sounds idyllic ..sigh ... I will trade my muddy canals for your forest!! :-)
I love the feel of living in the past where I am too ... it never changes here and lots of the cottages are 17th century ... all that said though it is very nice to walk in a room hit a light switch and then use my broadband internet ..lol ... so what I am saying is I want to live in the 1800s but have electric lights and internet ..but then there would be no one else to talk to .. oh and I would need to take an RR back with me too .. oh hell no petrol back then either ..
If you ever want help with the photos and getting them on a pc just let me know :-) .. I would love to see where you are in pics ..you simply must get some of this new fangled technology ..lol
I will post some of our cottages here soon ..they are quite magical and we have fairies at the bottom of the gardens ..lol
