PLEASE COMMENT WHEN YOU FAVE. It’s really not that hard and i love hearing feedback. It’s not much, even if its just "nice" or something, but it really makes a difference. also, please try to be respectful to myself and others. thank you.

"I know we don't view this in the same way. You're an adrenaline junkie, through and through. Meanwhile, I'm still looking for some sort of greater purpose in all of this. The costumes, the code names...the specific application of scientific achievement to acts of heroic responsibility. And a whole army at our command. No one's 'playing super hero' hero. We are super heroes. Ant-Man and the Wasp. Let's ride

After taking this photograph and looking back at it i was reminded of something along the lines of Tim Burton. The surroundings especially influenced that thought. Plus this photo was taken near a place called Burley, which is a small village of shops that is themed towards witches and all things spooky :)

So here's an odd little New Forest pony who was blind in one eye, i absolutely loved him. I followed him along with two others into burnt Gorse, which is controlled due to its rapid and dominant growth, this process however, still encourages further growth. I honestly favoured the appearance of the burnt environment to that of the living with the bright yellow flowering, the twisted black branches gave a new and unusual setting to be in. This guy seemed to like the place as much as i did, he was very friendly and let me pet him despite being wild. I love the New Forest, it is literally like my second home as i have practically gone there every single year since i was a very small child.

Please view larger on black :)

Happy Easter holidays! :D

December was a bitterweet month at LFF. Sadly our starting venue, the Marriott, is no longer available to us as it's being turned into an Italian restaurant.

THe Marriott has been a brilliant start venue for the last year and a bit and it's sad to have to move, but we got a professional photographer in to take some photos of the last one, and some incredible group photos outside the Marriott which just go to show what an amazing event Leeds First Friday is.

We helped another newbie on her first time out - Carla. And I met up with my friend Beth - Beth helped me out the first time I ever went, and she doesn't get out much so it was amazing to see her again. And bumped into lots of friends old and new.

All in all, a great night!

Pictures from the new venue, The End which is a great place. We really liked it in there.

The first Friday of the month usually means a weekend in Leeds and March was no different. One of the best nights out in ages!

Banksia is a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae. These Australian wildflowers and popular garden plants are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones" and heads. When it comes to size, banksias range from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 30 metres tall. They are generally found in a wide variety of landscapes; sclerophyll forest, (occasionally) rainforest, shrubland, and some more arid landscapes, though not in Australia's deserts.

Heavy producers of nectar, banksias are a vital part of the food chain in the Australian bush. They are an important food source for all sorts of nectarivorous animals, including birds, bats, rats, possums, stingless bees and a host of invertebrates. Furthermore, they are of economic importance to Australia's nursery and cut flower industries. However these plants are threatened by a number of processes including land clearing, frequent burning and disease, and a number of species are rare and endangered.

Banksias grow as trees or woody shrubs. Trees of the largest species, B. integrifolia (Coast Banksia) and B. seminuda (River Banksia), often grow over 15 metres tall, some even grow to standing 30 metres tall.[1] Banksia species that grow as shrubs are usually erect, but there are several species that are prostrate, with branches that grow on or below the soil.

The leaves of Banksia vary greatly between species. Sizes vary from the narrow, 1½ centimetre long needle-like leaves of B. ericifolia (Heath-leaved Banksia), to the very large leaves of B. grandis (Bull Banksia), which may be up to 45 centimetres long. The leaves of most species have serrated edges, but a few, such as B. integrifolia, do not. Leaves are usually arranged along the branches in irregular spirals, but in some species they are crowded together in whorls. Many species have differing juvenile and adult leaves (e.g., Banksia integrifolia has large serrated juvenile leaves).

The character most commonly associated with Banksia is the flower spike, an elongated inflorescence consisting of a woody axis covered in tightly-packed pairs of flowers attached at right angles. A single flower spike generally contains hundreds or even thousands of flowers; the most recorded is around 6000 on inflorescences of B. grandis. Not all Banksia have an elongate flower spike, however: the members of the small Isostylis complex have long been recognised as Banksias in which the flower spike has been reduced to a head; and recently the large genus Dryandra has been found to have arisen from within the ranks of Banksia, and sunk into it as B. ser. Dryandra. Thus fewer than half of the currently accepted Banksia taxa possess the elongated flower spike long considered characteristic of the genus.

Banksia flowers are usually a shade of yellow, but orange, red, pink and even violet flowers also occur. The colour of the flowers is determined by the colour of the perianth parts and often the style. The style is much longer than the perianth, and is initially trapped by the upper perianth parts. These are gradually released over a period of days, either from top to bottom or from bottom to top. When the styles and perianth parts are different colours, the visual effect is of a colour change sweeping along the spike. This can be most spectacular in B. prionotes (Acorn Banksia) and related species, as the white inflorescence in bud becomes a brilliant orange. In most cases, the individual flowers are tall, thin saccate (sack-shaped) in shape.

As the flower spikes or heads age, the flower parts dry up and may turn shades of orange, tan or dark brown colour, before fading to grey over a period of years. In some species, old flower parts are lost, revealing the axis; in others, the old flower parts may persist for many years, giving the fruiting structure a hairy appearance. Old flower spikes are commonly referred to as "cones", although they are not technically cones according to the botanical definition of the term: cones only occur in conifers and cycads.

Despite the large number of flowers per inflorescence, only a few of them ever develop fruit, and in some species a flower spike will set no fruit at all. The fruit of Banksia is a woody follicle embedded in the axis of the inflorescence. In many species, the resulting structure is a massive woody structure commonly called a cone. Each follicle consists of two horizontal valves that tightly enclose the seeds. The follicle opens to release the seed by splitting along the suture, and in some species each valve splits too. In some species the follicles open as soon as the seed is mature, but in most species most follicles open only after stimulated to do so by bushfire. Each follicle usually contains one or two small seeds, each with a wedge-shaped papery wing that causes it to spin as it falls to the ground.

All but one of the living Banksia species are endemic to Australia. The exception is B. dentata (Tropical Banksia), which occurs throughout northern Australia, and on islands to the north including New Guinea and the Aru Islands. An extinct species, B. novae-zelandiae, was found in New Zealand. The other species occur in two distinct geographical regions: southwest Western Australia and eastern Australia. Southwest Western Australia is the main centre of biodiversity; over 90% of all Banksia species occur only there, from Exmouth in the north, south and east to beyond Esperance on the south coast. Eastern Australia has far fewer species, but these include some of best known and most widely distributed species, including B. integrifolia (Coast Banksia) and B. spinulosa (Hairpin Banksia). Here they occur from the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia right around the east coast up to Cape York in Queensland.

The vast majority of Banksia are found in sandy or gravelly soils, though some populations of B. marginata (Silver Banksia) and B. spinulosa do occur on heavier, more clay-like, soils. B. seminuda is exceptional for its preference for rich loams along watercourses.

Grass Trees Xanthorrhoea is a genus of about 30 species of flowering plants endemic to Australia and a member of family Asphodelaceae, being the only member of subfamily Xanthorrhoeoideae. The Xanthorrhoeoideae are monocots, part of order Asparagales. Wikipedia

I had to go for an appointment in London with the surgeon who will be performing my upcoming surgery.

While I was down there I met up with the wonderful Sarah Fey who took me out on the Monday evening.

We had an amazing time! We went to a basemant bar called the Friendly Society then on for something to eat, then we went to the Soho Theatre and went to see a stand-up comedy show.

I had an amazing time - the best time by far I have ever spent in London!

And the consultation went great too - it's looking like next March for my surgery! :-D

In The Friendly Society.

Cake liners filled with chopped hazelnuts. By the way, this came out to be an AWFUL IDEA: as soon as the snow began to melt, the liners started loosing color, so the nuts began all red. Luckly they were almost completely done!

My good friend Sarah had the chance to come to Hull for a night and had not been before.

I took her for a little drive around - I took her to see the Humber Bridge (at night) and we had a little wander around the town centre, then went for a couple of drinks at The Star.

It's usually Leeds where I see Sarah so it was a really nice chance to show her around my home town. We did a couple of hours tour round the old town the next day too.

We got on the website gallery too, ha ha!

I thought my last set of photos was the last from November, but I was very wrong. It's just that I am so far behind, I hadn't even transferred the pictures from my phone to the PC. I really must get more organised!

A bit of a different look - looks very vintage with this faux-velvet dress and the headband. I'm not 100% convinced it works for me, but fun to try!

Comment if you fave, better pic up tomorrow.

16(I wrote this on saturday night)

Today, Saturday night. With nothing else to do. I decided to stay at home.

I think I'll read the Hunger Games now. Tomorrow I’ll make one of the many taggs I have. It's just that I forget, forgive me :)

oh. today's my birthday.

Comments welcome..how do you think they smell?

"Comment l’inanimé devient-il animé ? Comment l’homme instaure-t-il une relation insolite ou intime avec des objets ? Un groupe d’anthropologues s’est penché sur ces questions, à l’heure où notre conception de l’humain vacille et que ses frontières ne cessent d’être repoussées.

À propos de l'exposition

Nombreux sont les objets qui ont un statut plus proche de celui d’une personne ou d’une créature que d’un simple objet. Objets d’art – occidental ou non occidental, populaire ou contemporain –, ou produits high tech – robots, machines, etc. – se voient régulièrement attribuer, dans leur utilisation, des capacités d’action insoupçonnées, qui en font des quasi-personnes. Comme l’enfant qui voue une passion à son doudou ou celui qui peste contre son ordinateur ou son mobile en lui reprochant d’être incompétent ou têtu. Comme le chamane qui convoque les esprits à travers une statuette prenant les traits des dieux.

Ce transfert ou cette confusion qui s’opère alors entre l’humain et le non-humain, et la relation particulière et personnalisée qui les lie, dans les cultures les plus variées, est le vaste sujet de cette exposition d’anthropologie. Une incursion par la robotique, via l’œuvre pionnière de Masahiro Mori, permettra de comprendre le rôle de l’anthropomorphisme dans les artefacts les plus divers, et ce qui se joue lorsqu’un robot à l’apparence trop humaine – ou toute autre pièce au réalisme intimidant – croise notre regard, jusqu’à le déstabiliser."

Wild Black Bear Yearling in Ontario. (Graham)

I do not share exact locations. Our wildlife should be protected and when locations are shared these animals are put at risk. This is especially true with Black Bears. When bears are reported to authorities or MNR they are often shot even if they have done nothing and should not have been deemed a nuisance bear. In addition Ontario brought back the Spring Bear Hunt a couple of years ago and unfortunately it looks like it will continue. Please do not ask. Any comments "outing" the locations will be deleted....

September's LFF weekend was a bit different from usual. The evening was tinged with sadness and loss as we had a memorial for Janie Marie Swann, the amazing organiser of LFF who sadly passed away in July.

But it wa also a hugely social night meeting loads of people, friends old and new.

And I did a thing - I made my karaoke debut! It was nerve-wracking but I loved it! After a bit of a shaky start I loved every second!

In The Bridge where I made my karaoke debut!

The assassin pulls his cowl over his head and quickly turns around to block my first strike. He then punches me in the gut forcing me backwards. He keeps his composure and just walks to the other ledge of the building, allowing me to get ready for another strike.

It's quiet, but I hear him flip open a pouch on his belt. I hear the sound of metal blades rubbing together. I can't quite make out what the objects are, but I know I don't want to be hit by them. He raises them above his head and throws one at me. The object doesn't spin, but flies straight past me. It's a small rectangular object. A playing card. He's throwing razor sharp playing cards at me. Fantastic.

Before he can throw another I charge at him and swing one of my clubs at him. He catches it again and throws the club away from us. I try again with my second club and he again takes the club from my hands and throws it away.

"No more weapons. Let's fight like men..."
