I’m really not sure at all but my guess is a doghouse for an owner’s dog some time ago, where the dog was confined when he messed up. LOL! It was tough to get a good shot of it since it was all but buried in the plants partially visible to the left – the ones I couldn’t hold out of the way. :-D The interesting part is the “Dutch doors” on a dog house/jail. They fit right in with the same doors all over this very expensive inn called called Deetjin’s Big Sur Inn. The thing is that Deetjin modeled the inn after the building traditions of his native Norway. Don’t ask me who was first but I was bit surprised to read the builder, Helmuth Deetjin, built the original parts of the place in a style I\d only been introduced to as Dutch. If you can get past the fact that the place looks as old as these doors on the outside, you’ll find that it is stunningly furnished on the inside. If you are planning a stay in Big Sur and have some money to burn on interesting lodging, this is one to check out.

A field recently cropped and bailed for hay, the recent rain has slowed down the harvesting for many and been a little too late for some who have been turning fields into hay. The rain also causes other issues including mould in hay bails, locusts, disintegrating bails, flattening stalks… I need lessons in choosing cool names for these photos… Field just outside of Urana, NSW. edit I’ve just replaced the image with a few photoshop edits performed by Mike Emmett

While driving down country roads one day, I came upon this scene, one you’re unlikely to see in more cosmopolitan neighborhoods where posh, sophisticated folks live. There’s something about country people, people who live in the rural areas, that is quite liberating and freeing. They aren’t worried about what the neighbors will think or if something meets with zoning ordinances or neighborhood codes or political correctness. They’re just themselves and they don’t mind expressing what counts to them, what’s in their hearts and in their souls. On an island in a little pond at the front of their property, the homeowners of this particular property have constructed this scene from Calvary, Jesus Crucified with His mother Mary standing faithfully, lovingly, and sorrowfully at His feet. But if you look a little closer you’ll see another figure—a cormorant which remained on that cross with Jesus for as long as I sat at the roadside looking and taking pictures. As I studied the photo when I returned home, it came to me that I was witnessing the BEST BAIL-OUT PLAN ever devised, the only one that has worked and will ever work. Jesus came to Earth to bail us out of our self-imposed misery and sins, to pull us out of spiritual bankruptcy, and to show us the way to the peacefulness of heaven. Today, we hear lots of talk from politicians, mere men, who think they can bail us out of our woes. I think we’d all be much better off if we looked to the only real leader, our Messiah, who alone can save the day! Seems to me even the cormorant would agree!

Los Alacránes – Scorpions The Scorpion is a master of self defense and is a symbol of “always prepared.” Scorpion teaches about constant vigilance and how to deal with intensity, whether it be environmental, physical, or spiritual. By being a small creature, it teaches concealing the readiness through its ability to “slip through the cracks” By its zodiac connection it is connected to late Fall and Autumn as well.
