A few weeks ago (although I would swear it wasn’t that long ago!) I posted a picture of a structure built of sticks. Today I have another couple of photographs of the same twiggy building plus a photo of another, neighbouring edifice.
I’ve still not come across anyone actually building these things – not that I spend that much of my time wandering through the trees – and I’m still curious as to whether their construction is some sort of organised activity, or just groups of kids making dens? Few of the trees around this area are suitable for treehouses, so perhaps these make an alternative?
The other option is that the second of the three little pigs has decided this would be a good place to build a fortress against the Big Bad Wolf. I didn’t see any wolves, just a few dogs being walked. Nor did I make any attempt to see if I could huff and puff and blow the house in.

So little pig, little pig
Please let me come in!

Those are cool. I loved making forts out of broken sticks and branches, when I was young.

These are far more accomplished than anything I ever attempted. Most of the dens my friends and I made were flimsy affairs constructed from a few garden canes and whatever plastic sheeting might be available. They invariably collapsed on everyone’s head the first time someone accidentally brushed against part of the structure.
It’s perhaps for the best that I didn’t become an architect…
