Springtime after the fire.

The creek that flows through our land has never looked so beautiful.
The fire took out all the brush and blackberries.
The big oak on the bank is burned and dead but the two big pines I believe are going to survive.
A couple of months ago I came upon two turtles in courtship right here!

We are so stoked! Pixie and Percy the peacocks, success!

Pixie the mother peacock with her first two babies.

Nectar collecting this morning in the barnyard.

This is one of the capped queen bee cells that Ian grafted eight days ago….

...going into one of our queen cages.

All five queen cells caged and going back into the hive.

These are some of our first hatched pheasants of this year.
