I was captivated by my friends model train setup and took some photos of the detailed replica. It was a slice out of time showing a scene from the 1950’s or so. The details were very well done with weathering on the roofs and realistic trees and buildings.
I thought this scene out of an old time logging camp kind of fit with the #treetuesday theme. The model trees and camp kind of look like what might have been done around here back in that time period.
Lots of guys busy at work fueling the economic prosperity of the times. But what’s that going on behind the log house?

Looks like someone’s taking a break. Trying to do what comes natural only to be disturbed shortly by a large brown bear seeking up behind him.

My Thoughts on a Bear
Sometimes it seems to me like my life is kind of like that guy just trying to do what is natural. I’m just trying to get by. I’m not really feeling fully productive right now like all the eager beavers out there working away on different things like cutting down the trees.
Just sitting on the log feeling kind of vulnerable with a possible bear market looming around the corner. This time of year typically the market picks up but who knows. The bear could be sneaking around and my entire portfolio could go down the toilet like so much wasted crap out my backside.
Who knows what the future will bring? Sometimes it feels like a giant Grizzly Bear is figuratively just getting ready to tear me limb from limb and bring the entire world economy down. What do you do... stockpile gold, crypto, chop wood, collect water filters, food, etc... ? It doesn’t really make me feel much better, to be worrying about too many existential problems outside of my Monkeysphere.
Well, enough crying in my beer like some old timer drinking his breakfast at the bar, lol.
Sometimes I think you need to make peace with the bear as best that you can. When you are going through boot camp nobody even takes a crap for a few days. At some point you just have to let go and do what comes natural and hope everyone doesn’t plug up all the pipes when they finally let go and turn things loose. LOL.
But don’t worry about me, I have plenty to be thankful for and I feel healthier now than I have for some time. Steem won the Netcoins contest and things are looking really good - with any luck we could have a bright shinny future. A big thanks to everyone that voted! I live where regulations will not permit Netcoins to operate but I think this will help Steem out in any case.
Thanks for reading! I always value your support and comments. The pictures were taken by me with my Galaxy S9+. Tree Tuesday was started by @old-guy-photos
