Something is out of place??

[Plumcrak]

After a day of cutting, splitting and stacking wood there are two things that do not go together.
No worries...one was not opened until the other was shut off

How do you shut off a budweiser?

[Plumcrak]

Randy, when the can is empty it is shut off!

All joking aside, it really is a very nice photo that tells a humorous story. The depth of field works well. The green tones in the background complement the green tones in the saw. Well done, Jon!

Thanks Mike. It was a LONG day at the folks house (no owls to be seen though). We had 4 teenage boys and 5 adults cutting, splitting and stacking wood all day and got through maybe a third of it.
While these are not meant to be award winning photos by any stretch of the imagination, they are a good record of the day.
It is good to be with family!!

The photo of you "little" (in all respects) sister is just terrific. Surely it will become a family treasure.

Thanks Mike.
She is a character...it kinda runs in the family I think that log weighs more than she does

I like how you see things and life, Jon -- always nice to have a good sense of humour around especially when doing such hard yakka for the day. A nice cold bitter helps too....There's nothing like having a 'family'...never a dull moment. 'Enjoyed your shots a lot.

Chainsaws and hydraulic log splitters, luxury ! It's shorts, flip-flops and cane knives here

Seriously Jon, a good series but you should have captured the saw cutting and getting the motion of the sawdust ejecting

Cold weather suddenly struck here two days ago and so I had to get out the block splitter. In my case, that is a slightly sharp lump of steel at the end of a wooden handle. Good for maintaining a bit of muscle strength.

These are nice pictures and it's good to see that it was a social occasion.

Thanks Izzie. I have always been told that I look at things differently...I take that as a compliment.

Thanks Tony. I used to have to use your style splitter for years until I became fat and lazy

Thanks Grahame. I would have loved to capture the chips flying from the saw but that would have been kinda hard to do...I was the one operating the saw and left the tripod at home.
