....I refurbished & modified this $17 dreadnought guitar. Picked this up in an auction. The neck was broken. I made a new neck & headstock (Maple). fretboard (Black Walnut), bridge (Black Walnut), bone nut & saddle, and new pick guard. Replaced the old tuning pegs and installed new fret wires. 5 string to play in open G tuning, because of my left index finger index is gone due to an accident years ago. I named this guitar "Song Sparrow" because of the woodburning on it; the bird, feather and footprints on the fretboard.

Here is another "M"!
M-5 is no longer monochromatic, but still has a minimalist palette. Added some life, there's a whole crew around. Decided to standardize the bases of the new creations so that they will somehow look good together on the shelf.
Saturday challenge - Shiny & Macro.
Was trickier than I thought, mainly because of the dust on the bell, and reflections, quite weird, including a sort of fisheye effect, which shows the untidy kitchen, and a bonus (unflattering) selfie :-)

"Que la arquitectura de vidrio genera irrealidades de forma natural es un hecho.
Y junto a su aspecto inmaterial; etéreo y siempre cambiante a medida que lo hace el entorno, es este su principal atractivo.
El cristal tiene la cualidad de aunar tres planos en uno: el reflejo; la transparencia y la materialidad del propio cerramiento, siendo a la vez todos y ninguno.
De ellos uno, tiene la cualidad de hacer que un mismo edificio sea siempre distinto a si mismo.
Magia de la interpretación de la realidad que hace la percepción.
Para un fotógrafo de irrealidades el siguiente paso es obvio: crearlas.
Así Petra convive con multitudes; paisajes urbanos, negativos; paseantes y otras formas en una composición de planos superpuestos que no discrepan sino acuerdan de forma armónica y natural.
Variante contemporánea del collage, pero más rica en matices.
Y sin tener que construir un edificio, algo siempre ligeramente oneroso aunque, sin duda, para un arquitecto,
mucho más satisfactorio."

This image started during a bus ride up the California coast. I would see these lights along the highway. Very pretty, like a flashlight shining in an aquarium, lots of atmosphere. I watched these lights for a couple days until one morning Lou Reed’s “Stephanie Says” came up on my ipod, the light post went by the bus window and the finished picture kind-of fell into my head. I added the little horse because nobody wants to be alone in the dark. The model is my son Thomas.
And yes I’m the guy in the back of the dark bus scribbling in a little sketch book.

When I hiked out to the tunnel 5 and the beginning of Cliff siding near Bealville I ran into a solid set of five Santa Fe B40-8W led by the 519.
March 31, 1995 was definetely one for the books. Though this shot never saw the light before now.
Worked hard for this one, after Kayaking across the lake to these old reed beds I waited for sunset. The trip back was interesting as a storm blew up and I had to paddle hard to get back across the lake. For a small lake it generates surprisingly big waves. 5 minutes later and it would have been a much longer trip as the wind went crazy.

A brief hour of sunshine after a night of rain. The air was crystal clear, washed by the storm, and the light amazingly crisp, lending an almost 3D quality to this image, but now the rain has returned. At least the bees are still at work...
This time last year, I didn't think I'd ever see this again: Barney on the train! On 21st May it was one year since poor Barney was paralysed, after suffering a spinal stroke. It was so shocking & scary for him & us - I really thought we might lose him. We had to fight just to get a diagnosis & even once we knew what had happened, the prognosis for recovery was pretty poor (you can read what happened on May 2021's pic). However, Barney is a fighter & he has done better than I dared to dream could be possible. He's still got some neurological symptoms & is a bit wibbly wobbly & frail but Barney has regained some muscle in his back legs, he follows me around the house like he used to, loves going on walks (he yells at me if I don't take him out enough!) & is really not looking bad at all considering he's 15 & has had to relearn how to walk over the past year!
Anyway, earlier this month, we decided to see if Barney might be up for a train ride. For years, Barney used to travel about on trains with me pretty often, sometimes, we went on quite long journeys, when we visited friends or family & he learned to really enjoy it. However, once Covid hit, we stopped going on the train very often & then, just when I was starting to think we could take Barney on public transport again, the poor guy had his stroke. For a long time after that, going on a journey on the train would've been very difficult & no fun at all for Barney, he just needed so much physical assistance to move & was easily exhausted. Finally, this month, we felt he's fit enough to maybe enjoy a short ride to the town where we used to live, just 10-15 minutes away. Getting Barney from the platform, *onto* the train was umm, slightly scary but as you can see here, once safely onboard, Barney was pretty excited to be off! It makes me so happy he's improved enough to enjoy a little trip out :)
