the most beautiful "thing":

the crack on the lid, with what the big boy made "klakk klakk":

thing and honey pole next to it - mait had made it and put honey there but bears didn't come hihi

the pigs should come here:

after decorating feeding place with food - everyone tries to get a picture exept caysa, who is the only one that is working/helping :D :

a skewed picture from the place where camera standed before

view towards hunting lodge:


romantic view in the evening:

even more romantic view:

waiting the pigs to come - didn't dare to move, when they did - it was a massive effect how the focusing sound of my digital soap-box camera echoed back from the forest while sitting in the tower!!

Leanne, your pictures are really artistic! I love the one with the little grain sprouts that went uneaten and the picture of how the pigs approach the feeding ground--it's amazing there's not more damage to the little trees from the way they would all rush through when arriving!

I was going to ask if anyone saw our dear Volli, but I see you searched for him as I would have done

Was that the first destroyed salt pole laying on the ground in the forrest approach picture? Did anyone take it home as a souvenir of the pigs' victory? (I won't ask if anyone took a beaver tail.)

The close up pictures of Thing are great with the cracks and tusk scratches.

One more question and then I will shut up! Did anyone find out about the blue light that would glow in the background when we watched into the wee hours of the night? I can now see it attached to one of the trees where the pigs approached, but it is different from the other lights.

Perfect! What a camera did you prepare the pictures?

Eheheh yes, we didn't dare to touch the beaver's tails. And yes, it was the top of salt pole with a metal stab to hold the salt cube. We didn't aslo dare to touch this one, so it stayed where it is :D

I think we actually forgot about the blue light, so i don't know what to think about it now

I have a pentax soap box, it has a good macro function though, pentax optio s 12 it is

I can only agree with Bisky and Ophy!!!

Ooohhh Leanne yout pics are great. We have almost the same still pics (yours are better qualities ).
So I have no idea to put my owns here
But WHEN I manage to convert my video to suitable form I try with it.

Eeee!! Hello Sunny!!!! when did you arrive? how was your trip? how many pigs did you see later?

eheh i don't believe that we have exactly the same pictures, but yes, after 4-5 people posting pictures of the same trip it is a bit more difficult to find something very different. but i'm sure we all want to see your pictures too very much!! i want!!

welcome back!!!!

and video! yes you have the video of running deer and 2 pigs, no?

so now the pictures that i waited a bit before posting. here are the two presents for our boys in forum that we must take care of in tartu town hall square with a bit of tartu town hall.



also leelo photographing them with a glass of beer:


with liki:

ah and yes - caysa wanted to know if the frog can swim in my beer glass, so it had a mouthful of beer later

Hehe, it actually started to sink - so we had to save it!! And leanne DRANK the beer even after the frog dip

And..... I was not under alcohol influence

hehehe of course i did - i hadn't drank that beer at all before frog went to sink

Lovely pictures Leanne. Those on the sunset are really wonderful! And the deer running! And the pigs food!!! It's fantastic. I would have loved to be there
Maybe nest time. Or if I have to go to Sweden in the Autumn
