They're always looking at'cha!

 So on today's dawn patrol yours truly spotted a scale model of the hills behind constructed entirely out of sawn timber alongside a newly constructed road.

 There are a number of huge machines lurking in our wilderness who's sole purpose is to tear the life out of the forest.

 Which is a shame as it is particularly pictureskew at this time of year with the deciduous displays offset by the stark evergreens. Ahem. I did listen in biology lessons after all.

 And as yours truly wandered feeling not alone, well with three massive dogs by my side (read under my feet) how could I be

 but along the trails there was a sense of being watched and at one point

 around here a definite smell of tobacco, but no sign of life

 well none that yours truly could see

 but the dogs saw different

and WooZah could definitely see someone/thing.

 And there it was, a clear message from the fairy folk. They are watching.

 Leave the trees alone.
