Making my back yard was one of my biggest project of this year. It'd been just dirt and weed (not WEED hehehe... ) on 2400 square feet for the last couple years. Special thanks to Ha's parent, my parent, my uncle Hy and Huyen, my friend A. Chanh and C. Binh, and Ha for all financial and labor support. Also I have to thank Mr. Benjeman who did the sprinkler system and grass for a very good deal. I would recommand him for any yard work. Here is his phone number (801-953-5575). The total cost of the project is about 4500 USD. The yard has (10,000 pound of crushed gray rock, 8000 pound of red cushed Lava, 4000 pound of black crushed Lava, 15,000 pound of patio red pavor, and 800 square feet of grass). I coudln't believe that I did 80% og the labor.
Ceramic wall vases. This is the back side showing how they are signed, dated and have a nail hole to hang them on the wall.
I'm not done there yet!
I happened to catch this one shot of this tern flying over.

Week 7 of 52 in 2015. The theme is ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAITURE. I decided to do a self portrait of me on my back deck. This is where most of my sunrise, lightning, and bird photos are taken. See the entire 52 in 2015 set at www.flickr.com/photos/thesussman/sets/72157650078950242/.

Ladder-backed Woodpecker (Picoides scalaris) male in the Cave Creek Canyon area near Portal in southeast Arizona. This area is located in the Coronado National Forest and on the east side of the Chiricahua Mountains.
There was a pair of these woodpeckers frequenting the lodge "Cave Creek Ranch", where we were staying, which presented me with several opportunities for photography.

A stereo (3D) crosseye view from Laramie. Yah, I know, kinda poor composition for some, but I like it
TO SEE THIS IN 3D, there's a tuturial here:

.
First it was country music, then sweet tea, then a pick up, then cowboy boots, then TX college, then a cowboy hat.....and FINALLY a horse!
Janice and I took the Friday after Labour Day off to head out to Potholes Campground by bike. My second trip, after the solo jaunt in August, and her first time.
This was our lunch stop somewhere in Metchosin.
And going strong. I spoke with my suppliers this afternoon and we're forging ahead with plans for appointment only for pickups and drop offs of frames at Powder. Parts are all in stock and I'll be putting together my annual seat stay/chain stay stock order some time next week. Bikes will still be getting built.
On Nov. 26, nine days after arriving back in CT, I decided to go for a walk with my camera. I was surprised to find some serious graffiti in this town where I grew up, and the little message in black seemed strangely appropriate.
At work carving the "MUSIC OF THE SPHERES" key woodcut (in the homestretch, almost done!)- a new 16" x 20" color print in-the-works...
One of the mornings I was out at 5:30 to catch the sunrise at Seaside. This was looking back before descending the steps to the beach. I added a painting filter for fun. The photo below is a shot after the sunrise, and I was heading back for that 2nd cup of coffee and breakfast.
Now to get ready for a yard sale at Nancy's tomorrow.
The best I got of this pair of Red-back Kingfishers that appear to be attempting to nest again this year in Canberra. I think last year the creek caved in around their hollow, leaving the nest exposed.
Since this doesn't show the red back, there's another shot below.

Presented by: Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard
We are honored to welcome UK potter, Walter Keeler, back to the Ceramics Program for a workshop dedicated to long-time Ceramics Program staff member and friend of Keeler, Terry Hass. Keeler stated, "I love giving workshops, but this one is very special, it is for Terry - loved by all of us - and will celebrate her love of making pottery, her warmth and generosity of spirit." All proceeds from the event will go to fund scholarships to the Ceramics Program in Terry's name. Keeler will demonstrate a new body of work utilizing custom-made dies for the clay extruder to form his brightly colored vessels. Keeler will also show slides to support his life as a potter, his development over the decades and influences and sources of inspiration. Keeler made mention that he will definitely encourage questions and comments during his workshop!
