This is just an excuse to use that ridiculous pun more than anything :D But its always nice to do some 'Lego arranging' rather than building for a change ;) (plus I'm secretly very proud of my use of a traffic cone haha!)
I'm not sure how 'legal' using paper-cut landing markings is considered but I think it looks more interesting than the plain black card my similar posts have had. I'm interested to know what people think on that though, obviously I'd rather use a full blown Lego hangar but the amount of parts/time that would use up doesn't justify its use in the occasional photo IMO :)

Lily of the Valley,
French: Muguet, lis des vallées
Dutch: Lelietjes van Dalen
Flemish: meiklokjes (Little BELLS OF MAY)
The flower is also known as 'Our Lady's tears' since, according to Christian legend; the lily of the valley came into being from Eve's tears after she was driven with Adam from the Garden of Eden.
According to another legend, Lilies of the Valley also sprang from the blood of Saint Leonard of Noblac during his battles with a dragon.
Other names include May Lily, May Bells, Lily Constancy, Ladder-to-Heaven, Male Lily and Muguet.
Lily of the Valley became the national flower of Finland in 1967.
The Norwegian municipality Lunner has a Lily of the Valley in its coat-of-arms.
It is also the official flowers of many fraternities and sororities.
... an erect low-growing perennial herb of the genus Convallaria (C. majalis) that has two large oblong lanceolate leaves and a raceme of fragrant nodding bell-shaped white flowers.
All parts of the Lily of the Valley are highly poisonous.
The first day of May in France and other European countries is La Fête du Travail (Labour Day). It is a holiday.
May 1 is also La Fête du Muguet, and the tradition is to give the ones you love a sprig of Muguet, for good luck and to celebrate the arrival of Spring.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, bon w-e, M, (* _ *)

I had miss H's old mohair scalp lying around, and while adg does not fit kenners so well, it fit her ebl noggin beautifully. I liked it so much on her, she got to keep it.
It's much lighter then her old hair, which was the reason her poor neck broke. Also, since she has no lashes there is no problem with it catching.
@ Leh Monastery. Had hard time taking this photo, the statue was enclosed with a glass pane....
I had to go back to my guest house to bring tripod for this shot.
The artist Jani Leinonen bought signs from beggars and framed them. From a visit to AROS, Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Denmark - April 22, 2016.

Since this will be the last weekend I'll have anytime to process anything for awhile, I might as well post and present one of my very best pictures (low standard, but hey) I have ever shot. For anyone that visit the island of Oahu, this area located in Kaneohe is a must see site but many people will never know it even exist due to it being hidden in the valley. These majestic mountain ridges are backdrops to Jurassic Park. The light, cloud formation and calmness of the lake in this composition are hard to come by at the same time and day so I am glad I caught it on a good day.
Until next time, mahalo.
A good Flickr-ite, at least in my opinion, has to mix up the subject matter a touch. And it has been a while since a flower showed up in this photostream. (Soon shots taken with the new lens will appear).
And the comments related to this bald man looking Sexy in a Blonde wig were the best ever. "Mohammad Ali Zoom in Tight"!

Rottingdean, Sussex
Near gale force wind and sleet made this near impossible to take. Happy to get away with anything this morning.
I'm wearing [JANGKA] Aelys, which includes boots, gloves, and the outfit. It comes in black, brown, blue, green, purple, & red. The outfit comes in LaraX & Legacy.
Blue flower in the garden must ask my wife what it is, she's the expert. I am not allowed to do anything in the garden unsupervised except taking photo's
Not anything amazing but loved the sky, it looks like someone has gone mad with a brush. Better on Black, hit the "L" key.
Hope you like :-)
The Saturday and Sunday only Pan Am Railways train WAAY (Waterville, Maine to Ayer, Massachusetts) Poland Springs water train provides the somewhat rare oportunity to shoot a daylight westbound in District 2. With the new ex CSX C40-8's staying mostly west of Rigby Yard the train is also the best opportunity to get all PAR/GRS painted units on the B&M. This Saturday's water train was a special treat with the railroad's business train power in the consist. The SD45-2 carbody SD40-2, FP9, SD45-2 carbody SD40-2, FP9, GP40-2LW consist was definitely the wildest all EMD/GMD consist I've seen. Both f-units were working power. With the sunny forecast and interesting consist, LARGE crowds came out for this one making it quite difficult to get any unique shots. The train is passing the westward home signals for CPF JK in Lawrence behind the Market Basket grocery store chain warehouse.

Jonah 4
Jonah, don’t you understand? You care about this gourd’s vine, and yet you didn’t do anything to make it grow; you didn’t plant it, water it, or protect it. It appeared one night then died another. 11 Should I not have pity on that great city of Nineveh where there are more than 120,000 people who do not know their right hand from their left, and also many animals?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the same way David too was confronted by the prophet Nathan to reveal his sin by bringing him back to basics [David's younger days of passionate shepherding) and things that matter to HIS heart.
God reveals His nature and heart to us by reveling our heart to ourselves as well. Jonah knew Gods nature, but did not recognize His (God's) desire to have that nature shaped into Jonah's heart as well...hence the story of the tree, worm and mercy....and how the Lord earnestly pursued Jonah all this time.
Now there is more of us!!! YAY n STUFF! Hahaha ♥ ♥ ♥

I did not have the best lens on for an action shot at the time. My Sigma 14-24. Had no time to do anything other than zoom out to 24mm and hope settings were good. This is cropped but not all that much. The original was fine.
It was interesting to see one of Tulsa's murals in process. On the left.
These two common gallinules were foraging at Celery Fields marsh the other evening. The one on top was hilarious. When the one gallinule put its head under the water, the other one would immediately jump on its back to look over its shoulder.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, CANADIANS!
I haven't posted anything for a few days. Just too tired after going down the road to the local shops the other day, to buy food, and then doing the first drive out of the city in a few weeks. Unsure of how far I would get, all depending mainly on how painful my right shoulder/arm was. I surprised myself that I got as far as Kananaskis. Having missed all the beautiful fall colours because of not being able to go out, I knew that if I didn't go this day, all the golden leaves would have fallen from the trees. Maybe not the wisest thing to do just yet, but it sure worked wonders for my mental well-being : ) Normally, I would have gone a little sooner, but I still found enough colour to make the long drive worthwhile. At all times, I was only a few steps away from my car, having no desire to risk tripping and falling and doing even more damage to my body than what happened on 12 September 2022! Left home at 9:21 am and returned by 5:20 pm, after driving 360 km.
The day started off rather hazy (smoky?), but ended up being beautifully sunny and not too hot. Went the back way to Highway 40. Being Thanksgiving weekend, I wasn't sure how many people would be out there. Most of the time, there were just a few vehicles on the highway at any given moment. Approaching the Ptarmigan Cirque parking lot and area was a whole different matter. The parking lot was full and there were hundreds of parked cars lining the highway on both sides of the road. I can only imagine what the narrow hiking trail up the mountain was like, with so many eager people. So thankful that this was not my destination.
No wildlife to be seen, apart from one hawk, half a dozen Ravens and two or three suspected Canada Jays flying across the road. My outing was purely for seeing the last of the fall colour.
Returning home the same way, I called in at the Ranchers Corner for take-out Cheeseburger and fries. I always drive along one of the closest side roads and pull over to enjoy my meal. Also took another side road to take a photo or two of one of my favourite old barns. Such a beauty in black and white and so well kept. A nice way to end my sunny, colourful day.
