and war-hungry.
For some reason, this is how I feel each time I look at this picture!
Wings - Well, since I don't have a pair, I boarded on the Piper Warrior III. This was one of the best experiences of my life, thanks to our flying club, and my good friend Jeremy for convincing me to take the trip. I closed the series earlier, but after searching my external hard drive I figured I have a few more flickrworthy images (or maybe it's just the bone chilling cold and the ubiquitous snow that makes anything taken from fall/summer extremely beautiful). Well you be the judge!
A pic for my blog for Faerie Godparent Friday (yeah, I'm a wee late :P). This was one of Bee's Creations before her Partnership with Lady Solas. So it was made under 'The White Armory' name. They typically focus on weapons these days.

"Yeah!! I'm ready!! WOO WOOO!!!"
"HAHA! Okay, let's go, Ron!"
"You got it, Chachi, my new bud!"

Testing out the scale on these motocross bikes from Dollar Tree. They seem pretty perfect for Mego size. Mego sized motorcycles for $1!!
And, if you remember the Mego vehicles from the 70s, quality wise, these are just as good and probably better in detail. 😏
Going back to drawing:
Inspired from the original manga. In the manga, the gyro bike is one of Alita's arsenal given by Tiphares / Zalem, after being obliterated by Desty Nova.
Also, this is how I imagine IF James Cameron were to include the gyro bike in the second movie sequel. :D
Drawn using PS CC / Cintiq 24HD

Stop everything... SHE ISNT WEARING ALL PINK. THE APOCALYPSE IS UPON US!
In the meantime, I made cupcakes! Join the dark side today and you can have as many as you like!

A fun shot folks, meet Kelly Hofer, one of the finest young photographers I know. This past Saturday I had the pleasure to drive out to the Green Acres Hutterite Colony in southwestern Manitoba and spend the afternoon and evening with Kelly and his family. Without a doubt the entire Hofer family are among the finest folks I have had the pleasure to meet. We enjoyed good conversation, walked the grounds, exercise I badly need, and had a wonderful dinner. I really enjoyed the friendships that were forged that day and I plan to return soon for a longer visit.
In this image you can see Kelly is ready to do battle. Kelly is much younger than I am so it was only fitting that he carry both our gear...lol.
For those of you who are interested please drop by Kelly's Stream, he is talented, creative, and a terrific writer, all of which is evident within his postings.

That was before choosing a bus only option to return home. The less than 4 miles journey took a frustrating 1 hr and 20 minutes

Xenna, the fugitive from another planet. In her attempts to escape her own world, Xenna used a portal to another dimension, a secret technology that was still being developed and highly unstable. The portal collapsed and Xenna was flung into another dimension timeline and planet. She met up with Tabaris and the crew he belonged to, and reluctant as she was at first, she decided to join the crew for the time being. As time progressed, Xenna became more at ease with particulary Tabaris and the two would end up bickering contstantly while finishing every mission with an incredible rate of succes.
Then, the day came Xenna had to leave again, the demons had become aware of her and revered her as a godess who needed to be converted. Determined, she set out to open up another portal and destroy this dimensional version of her home planet, ensuring not two of her would ever come into existence. Powered by Tabaris himself, the portal held just long enough for him and Xenna to escape. Now they wander, through galaxies unknown, in search of her planet.
This moc has designs credited to Djokson, the lower legs, and Onuku, the base design for her abs.
Xenna originally only had her two arm blades. Since I thought that was a bit meager, I gave her a cape, shoulderpads and a guitar/axe. The idea of using this mask for an axe belongs to ShadowGear6335.
I hope you enjoyed this moc as much as I did building it. Until next time!
Arms & Armor Combat - Field of Dreams
23rd Annual Florida Renaissance Festival
Winter 2015 - Deerfield Beach, Florida U.S.A.
(one more photo in the comments)
*********************************************************************************
This is my ninth year covering this fun festival filled with color and pageantry and beautiful people. Each year some of the regulars return and sometimes fresh new faces appear to join the renaissance family. Some are vendors or employees, and some customers dress up to fit in with the renaissance festival fun and its 16th century way of life. One big happy family of a few thousand escaping the dull-drums of their daily life for a few hours. This year's crop of new faces was lovely. Hope you enjoy the images. I try to capture their joy. Always fun, festive and very colorful. Thanks very much for looking.

Of course, our annual treks to Alaska aren't just about coastal brown bears (though they are a favorite). No trip to Alaska would be complete for us without a trip to Denali National Park. There were are treated usually to sights such as grizzly bears, dall sheep, caribou, wolves, coyotes, lynx, golden eagles, gyrfalcon, collared pikas, arctic ground squirrels, ptarmigan, grouse, and many other things, including moose.
Moose in Alaska are a special breed - at least size-wise they are quite different from their Canadian and lower 48 American relatives. Add the effect of fall, i.e. the rut season, and these are a species with a force to reckon with.
While we all know (or should know) a cow with its young is probably one of the most dangerous animals around if it feels threatened, I would have to add that of a bull moose all amped up with its hormonal surges associated with the rut season. I tell you ... between their body size ... the enormous antlers and dangerous tines ... the power they possess ... and their attitude of the moment, there's no way I'm not getting out of one's way. We spent about 10 days total in the park this year and got to witness the total shedding of the velvet, which normally covers the bulls antlers, at least until it's time to tango! That is, the bulls engage in the rut and fight for the right to mate with the lovely cow ladies in the vicinity. :-) We witnessed peace and even congregation of the bulls early on and by the time we had to say goodbye to Alaska, they were actively pursuing the tracks of the females, guided by their scent.
As in other parks, and with other animals, when the rut season is in full swing, it amazes me how some people - passerbys and photographers alike - seem to lose their common sense! Never before this year (though I'm sure that it happens all of the time) did I ever witness spectators closing in on these big bulls as they made their way from areas along the road. It was crazy to say the least. All wildlife is supposed to be at least 25 yards away (except for bears which are supposed to be 300 yards away). Though I didn't have a yardstick with me, I would estimate some at about 2-3 yards away! Crazy, crazy, crazy! LOL
Moose usually hang out at the front 15 miles of the park, therefore the fall colors were still beautiful (i.e. more recent) and "moose-patrol" became a daily activity for us at least once, if not twice daily. Now that I'm home, when I look at my images of the moose, I sure do miss moments like these .... guess I'll have to wait until next fall. :-)
Thanks for stopping by to view and especially for all of your thoughts and comments.

DC ww: I like your sword. It is sharp...
Barbie ww: I also have a shield. And a black furry cape. Which you are wearing.
DC ww: That is because I am more fierce than you.
Barbie ww: *sigh*...that is correct.
