You are the artist of your own life. Don’t hand the paintbrush to anyone else.

Springtime * Brian Crain

I spent Christmas Day night and the next day converting Little Swan Lake back to Spring/Summer. I warned ya. In the process of taking everything up and storing it all in my inventory storage facility, I remembered I had a covered bridge. I thought to myself, “I wonder,” and so began the process of updating Little Swan Lake.

There are a great many covered bridges in the state of Indiana. In fact, there are 98. Not as many as some states can boast, but Indiana can boast that it holds the record for the most covered bridges in a single county. Parke County has thirty-two and has a covered bridge festival every year. Just thought to throw that in here. Smiles.

The build is by What Next and called the Kissing Bridge. There are two styles included, one being snow-covered for winter. I will be using it next winter for sure. The bridge is equipped with three texture choices. I chose the unpainted wood. Lights, ramps, and a sign are included. A texture to make your own lettering for the sign is included too.

Modifying the build was simple. I just went into the edit menu and enlarged the bridge to fit over the stream. Only the oak trees and cattails had to be moved just a smidge. Standing back admiring my handiwork, it screamed, “take a picture.” So, I did.

The bridge appears as if it has always been there on Little Swan Lake. It is things like this that will keep the region fresh for visitors. Do stop by for a visit. Little Swan Lake is open to the public 24/7. Pay no attention to the woman happily digging in pixel dirt. It’s just me having the time of my life.

Be kind to one another. Till we meet again♥

The landing at Little Swan Lake – Brian Crain ‘Song of the Heart‘

Tomorrow I will celebrate my 11th Rezz Day in Second Life. Every day that I log in, as in my 1st life, I believe that something wonderful will happen. I’ve never been disappointed.

In the eleven years, I have been here in Second Life, the one constant has been my love of digging in pixel dirt. Time gets away from me, and before I know it, I’ve spent the whole day landscaping. It’s pure euphoria for the introvert in me, and I have to make myself stop and go mingle with other peeps. I like being alone, so actually tis not a bad thang.

About this new build: I was born and raised in Kentucky and now reside in southwest Indiana. Indiana has several award-winning wineries, and being a wine enthusiast of sorts, I have visited several. Okay, I have visited them all. The Vineyard is based on a few of those wineries. My last build had a small vineyard, but this one is on a much grander scale, and the landscaping reflects that. I kept the region surround by YB sim surround landscape, so it appears to be located at the base of a mountain range. There are no mountains in Indiana, but I love this surround, so it stays. Heart Garden Center, Botanical, HappyMood, Studio-Skye, and new to me landscape creators LOVE, Konoha, and HISA contribute significantly to the overall aesthetic. The structures used are Roost, Trompe Loeil, Elm, MESHWORX, Barnesworth Anubis, Apple Fall, The Domineaux Effect, and Teegle. Serene and romantic was the goal. Judging by the comments from my friends who have toured the build, I may have nailed it and may never want to leave. This is no bad thang. 

While this is my private residence, like my former build, Petit Lac Des Cygne, I intend to open it to the public to enjoy. This time though, I have carved out a parcel for my private use. The goal is to open on July 5th. More photos to come.

Be kind to one another. Till we meet again. ♥
