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♥

If you long for a mind at rest and a heart that cannot harden…go find a gate that opens wide into a secret garden. ~ author unknown

The English translation is The lake of swans, or to the french it is known as Swan Lake. Either way swans have always held a fascination for me.  Next to Cinderella the stories of The Wild Swans, The Swan Princess and The Ugly Duckling are ones I read time and time again. No surprise that Swan Lake is my favorite ballet. Let’s not forget the Grace Kelly movie The Swan.  Maybe it’s more than just a fascination?

In my last post I thought the grounds were done but,  after consulting with Henry it was decided to flattened the area and start over as it looked nothing like the inspiration piece.  Le lac des cygnes is a small build as over half the region is under water.  Just the Chateau, a small lake and enough land to walk around it was all that we required.  Not surprisingly, over half the prims are spent in landscaping alone.  The grounds are teaming with wildlife. The two main living levels are fully furnished and yes, there are prims to spare.  I had forgotten what could be done with just 5K prims.

Le lac des cygnes is open to the public 24/7. Please keep in mind that on rare occasions access may be denied when both Henry and I are in residence.  We hope you stop by and enjoy our little corner of the grid soon.  Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥
