We humans tend to respond to unknown, or foreign, things, with fear, suspicion, shock, malice, or pretended disinterest. Unfortunately, if the unknown 'thing' is another human, the result is a world of hurt.

I was originally going for a rather different concept but it really wasn't coming across. Then I remembered I had shot some photos of the frozen stream in hopes of using them as an overlay, and lo and behold this is what I came up with! Titled of course after the song by Adele.
Remember how the otherday they blocked off part of the road leading to the forest but I was still able to walk in? Yeah well I don't know that I'll even be able to get that far anymore. While driving out yesterday I almost got stuck in a ditch while pulling to the side to let another car go by (the roads really only suitable for one car) and if it had been only a few feet farther I would most likely have been sliding down a hill. Not safe. Also evidently with a permit people can cut down trees in the forest for Christmas trees. The whole time I was taking this there was a family a few hundred feet away searching for the perfect tree. I really wanted to do a different photo but this was really the only place where they couldn't completely watch me take photos, I had to fake landscape photography for a while while they got far enough away haha.
Smart Dolls are really a lot of fun to pose and play with compared to bjds. Rikki (Smart Doll Summer) in a dress I whipped up from Requiem Art Designs' Cold Shoulder pattern. This is a pretty easy pattern, or would be if my ~18 or so year old sewing machine hadn't decide it does not like to sew these kinds of light weight knits.
The wig is a For My Doll wig in Soft Brown. It really picks up the similar color in her eyes.

I had received Cold Shoulder Eugenia a while back with a sweet personalized note from Percy Newsom regarding her delay. Sure, she missed the excitement along with the rest of the Gloss girls but she's still amazing and she's EUGENIA! She's the perfect ice queen.
The Red-shouldered Hawk is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California to northeastern-central Mexico. Red-shouldered Hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation.
Adults have brownish heads, reddish chests, and pale bellies with reddish bars. Their tails, which are quite long, are marked with narrow white bars. Red "shoulders" are visible when the birds are perched. These hawks' upper parts are dark with pale spots and they have long yellow legs. Western birds may appear more red, while Florida birds are generally paler. The wings of adults are more heavily barred on the upper side. Juvenile Red-shouldered Hawks are most likely to be confused with juvenile Broad-winged Hawks, but can be distinguished by their long tails, crescent-like wing markings, and a more flapping, Accipiter-like flight style. In direct comparison, it is typically larger and longer proportioned than the Broad-wing, though is slightly smaller and more slender than most other common North American Buteos. This bird is sometimes also confused with the widespread Red-tailed Hawk. That species is larger and bulkier, with more even-sized, broad wings and is paler underneath, with a reddish tail often apparent. The Red-tail is also more likely to soar steadily, with wings in a slight dihedral.
Prior to 1900, the Red-shouldered Hawk was one of the most common North American raptors. Population densities have decreased precipitously due to the clearing of mature forests (principally the wet hardwood forest they prefer) since that time. The changing of habitats has led to a general population increase of the Red-tailed Hawk, an occasional predator of its cousin. Additionally affecting the Red-shouldered Hawk was the greater availability of firearms in the early 1900s, leading to unchecked hunting of this and all other raptor species until conservation laws took effect in the latter half of the 20th century. Local forest regrowth and the ban of hunting has allowed Red-shouldered Hawk populations to become more stable again and the species is not currently considered conservation dependent. In Florida, the Red-shouldered Hawk is perhaps the most commonly seen and heard raptor species. However, human activity, including logging, poisoning from insecticides and industrial pollutants, continue to loom as threats to the species.

Patricia and Alex
They aren't a couple by the way I think in past they was lovers and not only friends
Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Dont give in without a fight.
Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, Im coming home.
But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you, standing in the road
Always doing what youre told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, dont tell me theres no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.
