#Wetlands power.

Not going to wait with this for #TongueOutTuesday

Tradycyjne wieczorne odgryzanie łapek, żeby nie pobrudziły pościeli.

In some eighty years those oaks will look great in a fireplace.

The tree is down, but it's still struggling to live. #lichen #LichenSubscribe

A tree fell on one of our favourite paths. This means there is no car traffic that would partially curb the growth of nettles. We'll have to buy a machete. Or a chainsaw.

The local tree of life is dead, but it's still standing.

Relaxing on a Sunday morning. They're saving energy for the coming week.

Today's #RuralBroadband installation in a very sad place. This customer has no dogs, not even one. Usually we have some wonderful canine assistants, like here: https://qoto.org/@szescstopni/110255636249913201

A detail of our #RuralBroadband test setup.

The tiny house that is our home, office, and workshop, is surrounded by trees. Sometimes we need to test terminals that connect our clients to the base transceiver stations, and we need to put them as high as possible, to avoid any obstacles (usually this means trees).

This is a picture of the side of a 1 ton water tank, covered with algae on the inside, which gathers rainfall from the rain gutter. We use this water for watering the garden and for putting out an occasional #bonfire. Also it's nice to have two thousand litres of water (there's a second tank on the other side of the house) in case the dry #forest to the west of us catches fire.

A piece of a drainage pipe is attached to the metal cage of the water tank with zip ties. We attach the terminal to an old 16 ft windsurfing mast, raise it and stick it into the pipe. There are better ways to stabilize the mast in the pipe, but today the best thing lying around was this #moose bone we found in the forest (that dry forest to the west) a few years ago.

Despite appearances he's very happy in his doghouse.

I was too busy to post this melee on #TongueOutTuesday.

Pietruszka is *very* scared. She easily climbed those stairs outside a neighbours' house, but the only stairs she knows and has ever walked, at our house, have different parameters, such as step rise, tread depth, and so on. This is the moment she realized she's not in Kansas anymore.

Złapano pieska, który sikał na drzewo w Parczewie, ale go uniewinniono.

A #wasp tending to its nest. Wish I had taken my camera, not just my phone.

Wizerunek Ducha Świętego na dębie czerwonolistnym (tak, takim samym) w naszej okolicy, zaledwie 30 km od Parczewa. Nie podaję dokładnej lokalizacji, bo cenimy sobie ciszę i spokój, ale jak ktoś chce liść, to chętnię wyślę.

Walka o miejsce na pieńku.
