Dragonfly 2.0
Designed and folded by me ( Bodo Haag )
folded from one uncut square.
Bananafiber paper ( 52x52 cm )
This model is the revised version of my old dragonfly. Now, the design is more effective, has a better head , shorter neck, legs with different lengths and it has a segmented abdomen. The design is still based on 22.5 degree angles.
The wings and eyes have a color change, but I folded the model from a single colored paper.
2 Projects
Word: Untethered
So today I took this photo of Phoenix in my office- As I know I've mentioned before, Phoenix loves everything music. Phoenix likes to play on my guitar while I'm listening to Pandora. She looked so super cute, I couldn't resist. I love to watch her listen. I love to watch her get in to it. When I watch her dance, watch her play, watch her sing, she's completely free. It's beatiful. My friend Otillie has helped start a picture project here on Flickr called 2 photo projects . Each month two words are given, and you have to come up with images for the words. One of the words for January is Untethered, which is not tied down by anything. This photo to me is all about this word. Children, are untethered. Their little lives are all about exploring, learning,and being free little birds.
The nasturtium's leaves, flowers, and seeds are edible. The leaves, stems and seeds taste like wasabi. Whereas, the flowers are a bit lighter and sweeter than the rest.
M4H theme Imperfection - I am spending January practising use of my edge 80 lensbaby optic and controlling the level of blur. I am finding this very difficult and am getting few keepers!!

A scene from my most favourite PC game ever: Halo 2. When I first played this level called 'Helljumpers' I was seriously on the edge of my seat. So nostalgic, and such a beautiful game. Good old times.

- Josh (Floodlama) for sending me the double molded needler.
- Shmails for Master Chief with the waterslide decals.
- EclipseGrafX for the helmets and armor for the ODSTs
The custom accessoires that I've used for the MOC:
- Brickarms: Halo Magnum, Double Molded needler, Grenade, Barret .50 cal, AC8, Halo assault
rifle, LM9
- Brickforge: ODST armor, ODST helmets, Space Marine armor, Space Marine helmet, Plasma
blaster, Plasma blade.
- Shmails: Waterslide decals.
Exuvia from 2 southern hawker dragonflies which emerged last night (and I missed it !). There are lots of suitable stems to climb in our little garden pond but these two had to make it competitive.
You are all so very kind with your comments and favs. These pics don't do well in competition. It needs the audience of the Flickr groups to help encourage this type of photography. Many thanks.

Skógafoss 2 | Iceland
Our second image from the beautiful waterfall of Skógafoss in Iceland comes in a slightly different view and composition.
Also developed in b&w, its stunning appearance combines with natures suddenly happening features like the rainbow. It got something mythical to it!

So, day 2, and yesterday I ricked my back picking up a book and today I can barely stand and can only just about lift my camera, so I've had to resort to a macro with whatever is to hand.
Here's my album for this year: flic.kr/s/aHskzGbt4P
Last year's is here: flic.kr/s/aHskPxovML
Thursday night was the start of the Sheboygan Levitt Amp Music series. Even though the wind off Lake Michigan made it a cool 56 degrees F, the City Green was packed with people celebrating music, the presence of local food trucks, and the summer solstice. An excellent time was had by all.
Boogat is a group known for its Latin American music, If you are interested in learning more about them, feel free to follow the link:
====The Batcave====
*It took ages before I managed to escape that nuthouse. I'm half surprised the butler didn't send one of the "soldiers" to retrieve me, but I suppose I ought not to complain. I spent the car ride home in thought, wondering what my next steps ought to be. I get out of that ridiculous automobile, and head straight to the computer, ignoring the pleas of my servant for medical attention*
Alfred- Master Bruce, look at the state of you!
Bruce- I'm fine Alfred. Had a run-in with Clayface, that's all.
*Alfred examines my muddied cape, now draped over the chair*
Alfred- I noticed. You do recall who cleans your suit don't you?
*I smile, nod, then continue my work. Good old Alf. Faithful as always*
Alfred- Master Clark called earlier, I tried to patch him into the cowl, but to no avail. Ms Gordon is the "computer whiz" after all. Something about a lead on those cosmic readings?
*Clark? What's he on about now?*
Bruce- Who-? Clark, you say?
Alfred- Yes, they believe it's something to do with the Society. I- Are you alright sir?
Bruce- Couldn't be better.
*There's a sudden rush of activity from above, someone's turning the dial on that clock of his, and sure enough, there she is. 'My doting wife,' Selina*
Bruce- Alfred. Give us a moment would you?
Alfred- Yes sir. Ms Kyle.
*He goes through the cave entrance and returns to the relative comfort of the manor above us. I place my hand on her shoulder to comfort her, and run my finger through that short black hair of hers. I'd forgotten how attractive she was*
Selina- Bruce? What're you doing back here, Arkham's a mess, and-
Bruce- Selina, please. Gordon can take care of the inmates, you ought to have more faith in the man.
Selina- It's not Gordon I don't trust. It's everyone else on the force.
Bruce- Heh. Perhaps we should take this upstairs, no?
*I move in for a kiss, but instead she leaves me hanging. I grasp my side-arm just in case. She looks me up and down. Then she slaps me across the face*
Selina- You're not Bruce.
*I smirk.*
Hush- No. But I'll think you'll find I'm the next best thing.
====Arkham Asylum====
*When I come to, Hush is gone. Hagen too. I on the other hand awoke on the ground, my skull bloody- I must have been thrown down. My belt's gone, and my cowl cracked on impact. I look up and I see the rotting carcass of some godforsaken animal and I realise where I am. They've dumped me Croc's Lair. I see the water ripple, I can feel the ground shake as he moves. And I know for a fact that he's starving*
Croc- Well wha' da we have 'ere? Is that a Bat I smell?
Batman- I don't have time for this Croc.
Croc- Shame. Ah guess we'll have ta reschedule
*Hnh. That never works. If I had my grapnel, I could simply travel up that chute. The only way out now is through Croc. There's got to be something I can use*
Croc- Tryna' hide? I knows yer scent Batman. Smells of sweat! You afraid boy?
*I pull on a rusted pipe, bursting it. Croc howls, temporarily blinded, I use that distraction to slide under his legs. If I'm right there's a way to the central pump room from here. As of a few minutes, or perhaps hours, Tommy is the priority*
Croc- I'll find you Batman! An' I'll rip you limb from limb!
*I'm beginning to remember. Tommy was talking to Hagen while they were carrying me off. What was it?! What was he saying?*
====Wayne Manor====
*Doctor Thomas Elliott. The pyscho currently chasing me through these halls. Calls himself Hush. I'll never know how Bruce was ever friends with him. The guy's insane, deluded and narcissistic. I reckon he hates wearing Bruce's face. It must burn him up inside, to wear the face of the man he hates so much. Considering what he's done to me over the years, it feels pretty good knowing he's in constant pain. But it also makes him even more dangerous to me, and to everyone living here. He's already fought off Alfred. I didn't even get a good look at what he was doing to the computer- transferring funds maybe? Tommy *has* been a little strapped for cash lately, but this head on approach doesn't seem much like him*
Hush- Selina-! Where are you? Where's "my" blushing bride? Say! What has it been Kitty? Two? Three years? To think I didn't even get invited! His childhood friend. Heck, I should have been his best man no? Who *did* he pick again? Grayson? Superman? Don't tell me he chose Alf! That'd be sad! Heh- How are those scars by the way?
*I make my move now, I throw the suit of armour I was hiding behind at him, then I pounce. My claws an inch from his face*
Selina- How are yours, *Tommy*?
Hush- My wounds have healed. A shame about yours.
*He's going for his gun. I kick it away, but in doing so I leave myself vunerable. Hush throws me off of him, and battles me for it*
Hush- You know it was me, right? The man who got you crazy kids to admit to those pesky feelings of yours!
*Like I said, delusional*
Selina- Please, we all know that it was Eddie's plan
Hush- And yet, how does it feel, to have a relationship built on lies and betrayal?
*He's got the gun again, but I've got the clip. He tries firing, but fails*
Selina- Seems like every other one I had
Hush- How very Shakespearean. It melts my-
====Arkham Asylum====
*By the time I get to the island's surface I'm cold, wet and angry, and no closer to figuring out Tommy's endgame. Not only that but- strange. Where's the car? Oh no. Then it comes to me, what Hush had said- "Professor Strange keeps a Batsuit in his office. Bring it to me. Don't worry, I'm not taking yours Bruce, I'm not going to give away your secret to a lowlife like Hagen. Not when we're... best friends." That can only mean one thing. He's at the manor. I see a nearby police officer, his arm in a sling, resting against a wall*
Batman- Give me your car keys.
====Wayne Manor====
Hush- -heart.
*He smiles again. He smiles Bruce's smile. It sickens me*
====The Batcave====
Bruce- Alfred! Damian! Selina!
*The car's parked. He's here. And then I hear the gunshot.
Bruce- Tim! Dick! Cassandra!
*I knock the clock aside and run. There at the end of the hallway is an image I've seen once before. Thomas Elliott dead on the ground. Killed by a bullet through his chest*
Bruce- Selina...

"JOY is the settled assurance that God is in control of ALL the details of my life. The quiet confidence that ultimately EVERYTHING is going to be okay and the determined choice to praise God in all things," Kay Warren
Polygamy can be categorized into two main types:
1. Polygamy : Expressive and Transparent (Verified)
2. Concealed Polygamy, where one pretends to be monogamous to their lovers. (Unable to verify)
Type #1 Polygamy
www.flickr.com/photos/161478161@N05/53215091071
ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ
Type #2 Concealed Polygamy
☑ Multiple Secret Lovers,
☑ Multiple Avatars, Multiple Accounts
☑ Created new avatars with the intention of forming Meaningful Relationships, rather than seeking casual encounters or "friends with benefits."
☑ Get married and pretend to be faithful (Monogamous) to their partners.
" They have many secret lovers, many secret girlfriends/boyfriends, many secret wives/husbands, and many children in separate accounts (avatars).
If you thought the first type of poly was bad, the second type is the worst (truly bad). I would like to call people like this impostors; there are many of them in SL."
☑ Most of them don't really know they are polygamous, don't accept it, and consider themselves as womanizers, badasses, or playboys, without viewing themselves realistically as cheaters, liars, unfaithful lovers, and the worst type of all a**holes.
☑ They deceive others by pretending to be faithful partners without feeling any guilt or shame for their actions at all.
ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ
☑ They all agree that Poly isn't good and lacks three things.(heart, truth, happiness). They don't follow a Poly lifestyle; instead, they believe they are better than Poly. They feel superior to Poly because they prioritize loyalty, marriage, deep commitment, peaceful family, much respect, and treat their loved ones more kindly as a one-hearted lover.
They believe they possess larger hearts, are more truthful, and experience greater happiness due to their numerous monogamous relationships, which surpass the satisfaction of typical couples who engage in only one relationship at a time.
Most of them are so narcissistic, talented, charming, and exceedingly confident that they believe they are the smartest and happiest people.
ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ
☑ Most of them firmly believe that they have a heart bigger than everyone else's.
Do you believe people who do this kind of polyamory lack genuine hearts?
The person who claims to love someone the most, tells another person that they are the only one they love, that they are the most important, and that they miss them the most. The person who also makes numerous promises and vows to all their secret lovers.
Do you believe people like them truly possess the big-heartedness they claim to have?
ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ
☑ Most of them firmly believe that they possess truth and happiness.
They have the kind of truth their partner wants to hear. They said everything and believed it to be true.
They believe they are happier because they have more partners than those in pure monogamy.
Do you think that genuinely happy people could behave and lie like this without shame? Is this really the behavior of happy people?
ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ
☑ They lack, just like all polys, but they can't even accept a truth about themselves. Most of them are too weak and narcissistic to dare to confront the truth about themselves. They believe they have bigger hearts than other good people and possess both truthfulness and happiness much better than polyamorous people.
☑ They live their lives pretending to be something they are not and think it is happiness.
☑ Many of them may see it as a rewarding way of life, yielding the greatest benefits. They were certainly convinced that they received more advantages than the first type of polyamory.
" Is it genuinely worth living as someone other than yourself just to maintain multiple lovers? Nevertheless, each day demands that you feign monogamy, playing the role of a faithful lover to keep your partners content. This charade incurs an immeasurable cost, gradually leading you to lose your true self and the authentic happiness of being who you truly are. "
ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ
" Your loved ones don't truly love you! If they knew the truth about you, they wouldn't be able to accept who you are. It's not the real you they love; they love the character you've fooled them with, and it's not truly you, not even for a day. That means YOU're not genuinely loved, not even for a day.
Every day, you live as someone other than yourself, convinced that there's only gain and no loss. Unaware of the immeasurable cost of both losing and living your true self, you become the ultimate fool. "
Scarlett Saphira
ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ.-:**★**:-.ღ
" Who genuinely gains and experiences true happiness from your pretense— you or your lovers?
Have you grasped the concept? Who attains greater genuine happiness? Your lover possesses a wonderful, faithful partner. However, you hold onto the confidence that you profit without any losses; is that truly the case? You work hard for your lover's happiness without realizing what you're sacrificing! "
I hope this helps!
