This is my last ditch effort to get some cookies done. We leave today for Florida for a much needed week's vacation! And of course, my big order of new cutters just came UPS today. I don't think my hubby would appreciate postponing the trip so I can play with them though. :(

The Century Tower is a 157-foot-tall (48 m) Modified Collegiate Gothic carillon tower located in the center of the University of Florida campus in the city of Gainesville, Florida.
Construction on the tower begun in 1953 by the Auchter Company to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of UF's parent institution, Kingsbury Academy in Ocala.
The structure serves as a memorial for students and alumni both who perished in both World War I and World War II. This fulfilled the original campus design of the university's first architect, William Augustus Edwards, which called for a Gothic bell tower as a focal point for the entire campus.
At the time of the tower's completion in 1956 there was no money to buy bells for the carillon. An electronic bell system given by J.E. Davis and A.D. Davis, two of the Davis Brothers who controlled Winn-Dixie, was used until it finally broke down in 1975. In 1976, $200,000 from accumulated student fees was used to buy the initial set of 49 bells.
A Dutch bellfoundry, Royal Eijsbouts bell foundry, designed, fabricated and installed the full carillon in 1979. In 2002 a major gift from the estate of Larry Allen Webb of St. Augustine, Florida, (a distant relative of President Dwight D. Eisenhower) made possible the addition of twelve trebles for a total of 61 bells, complete revision of the carillon playing action, and provision of an identical studio practice clavier in the adjacent University Auditorium with sound samples from ten major carillons throughout the world.
In 2008 the Century Tower became a contributing property in the University of Florida Campus Historic District which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1989.
The Century Tower Carillon of sixty-one bells was completed in its present form and dedicated on September 11, 2003.

Complete with fondant prawns and mussels and a wedge of lemon all in a black fondant paella pan!
Each birthday, one of my obsessions gets turned into a cake! The girls have excelled themselves again (see the cakes set that this picture is in to look at past cakes!)
I do look forward to these cakes but I mus say that my birthdays seem to be getting alarmingly close together as I get older!
Finally! It's complete and bound! And I entered it in the Modern Quilt Guild Showcase tonight.
Each row was made by a bee-mate out of a single color of fabric samples I provided to them. Natalia Bonner did the amazing quilting using 12 different colors of thread. LOVE THIS QUILT!!

Finally grouted my guitar. The photos don't ever do iridized glass justice. Most of the glass on this is iridized. It turned out really nice. I'm happy with it. I just have more cleaning to do....:o(

After completing the run-round manoeuvre (see previous image), Class 58 No. 58031 heads away from Bloxwich and approaches Sneyd Lane bridge with the empty MGR rake for Essington Wood Disposal Point on 15th July 1986. The 'new' Bloxwich station, which opened in 1989, is now located by the bridge in the background. It replaced the earlier station, which closed in January 1965, which was located beyond the background bridges close to the signal box seen in the previous image.

Trillium Railway's TRRY 108 has just run around it's train on the Harbour Spur, and is headed for the Government Spur to deliver grain to the elevators in Port Colborne, Ontario.
I have now fully completed the cutting that runs at the back of the station throat/engine shed and turntable area.
I placed plenty of foliage over the green plates, that are layered upon technic bars and framework, so as to break up the straight edges.
It's a bit of a steep hill for the road but as space is at a premium I've had to truncate the real area some what inorder to fit. I've added 2x Maple trees, 2x Popular trees and a Service tree to the cutting and the old Oak next to the houses.
I've now to build the turntable well, water tank/coaling stage and engine shed.

Completado ya mi primer proyecto fotográfico, ha sido fácil y difícil, días que en una sola foto tenía el día hecho y días de desesperación pero todos los días superados... Siempre intentando comerme el tarro para conseguir fotografías diferentes, intentando variar, no ser cansino con un solo tema, me he pasado con los desenfoques...lo sé, pero es que me encantan.
Un año intenso en el que mi dedicación a la fotografía ha sido plena e intensa... Cuando me preguntan a ver cuanto tiempo le dedico, me pasa la cabeza... las 24 horas al día,hasta de cuando dormimos podemos sacar, posibles fotos, simplemente de un sueño, motivo: es una adicción, un hobbie que como te enganche y quieras ir superándote día a día necesita su dedicación. Cuando consigo una cosa ya no me motiva, quiero otra, son mini retos personales, quizás el ser inconformista, virtud o defecto, depende como se mire.
Del proyecto puedo decir que es una gran forma de aprender cosas porque te obliga a tener que pensar, depende el nivel de autoexigencia que tenga cada uno. Pero requiere muchísimo tiempo.
Un año en el que he conocido gente fantástica, de la cual he aprendido mil cosas, cada fotógrafo somos un mundo diferente.
Un año en que tengo inmortalizados momentos, recuerdos de cada día ver una foto y recordar. Simplemente fotografía, que no se necesita que una fotografía bonita para recordar... días alegres, días tristes, sentimientos, emociones... Fotografías que te sacan una sonrisa, fotografías que te saltan las lagrimas.
Dar las gracias a toda la gente que ha estado ahí siguiéndome, apoyándome en varios bajoncillos que he tenido... Gente que conocía ya de antes del proyecto y gente que os he ido conociendo mientras he ido completando días... Muchas gracias a todos...
Gracias a esa persona que estuvo hasta la mitad del proyecto y que tanto me aguantó con las fotos.
Dar las gracias a Medialuna85 la principal motivadora, de unos meses aquí... Solo se nos ocurre a nosotros, retos de una palabra una fotografía... una locura... Un añadido más a este proyecto... Una encantadora persona con un gran corazón.
Gracias a mis padres, por ayudar a dar ideas ( porque no le sacar una foto a esto) y yo comiéndome la cabeza como sacar una foto a una simple esponja, una varilla de esas pasteleras... muchas cosas... mis abstractos de la cocina XD. Mi hermano y cuñada también, gracias por aguantarme a dejaros a hacer fotos... Paciencia es poca la que tenéis conmigo.
Ahora me veo mas capacitado que hace para enfrentarme a este gran mundo y seguir aprendiendo.
El motivo del la foto de mi ojo es porque de el han salido todas y cada una de mis fotos. El es el culpable tanto para lo bueno como para lo malo.
Nos seguiremos viendo pero ya sin la presión de tener que subir fotos para completar días...
Un placer.

I needed to correct the impression from my previous platypus shot that tails were optional! Here you can see the "beaver" tail clearly, but not some of the dangerous sharp bits attached to the hind legs because I don't know if this is a male or female.
Vero Beach is a city in and the seat of Indian River County, Florida, United States. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2010 data, the city had a population of 15,220.
Parts of a human skeleton were found north of Vero in association with the remains of Pleistocene animals in 1915. The find was controversial, and the view that the human remains dated from much later than the Pleistocene prevailed for many years. In 2006, an image of a mastodon or mammoth carved on a bone was found in vicinity of the Vero man discovery. A scientific forensic examination of the bone found the carving had probably been done in the Pleistocene. Archaeologists from Mercyhurst University, in conjunction with the Old Vero Ice Age Sites Committee (OVIASC), conducted excavations at the Old Vero Man site in Vero Beach in 2014–15. Starting in 2016, archaeologists from Florida Atlantic University joined the Old Vero Man site excavations.
In 1715, a Spanish treasure fleet wrecked off the coast of Vero. Eleven out of twelve Spanish ships carrying tonnes of silver foundered in a hurricane. The remains of the silver attracted pirates. A group of 300 unemployed English privateers led by Henry Jennings stole about £87,500 in gold and silver in their first acts of piracy.
In 1872 Captain Allen W. Estes officially established the first land patent between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, after settling in the area in 1870.
In 1893 Henry Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railway began operation through the area.
The town of Vero was chartered on June 13, 1919.
Vero was officially renamed "Vero Beach" and was switched from being part of St. Lucie County to become the county seat of Indian River County when it was formed in June, 1925. There are many theories on possible origin of the city name, but there's no consensus.
During the war year of 1942 the U.S. Navy selected 1,500 acres (6.1 km2) surrounding the Vero Beach Municipal Airport as the site of Fort Pierce Naval Amphibious Training Base, a Naval Air Station. Due to the bombing practices conducted during the WWII, there are many buried explosives and the Army Corps officials have conducted ongoing search & clearing exercises for the potentially dangerous items since 2014.
In 1951 Barber Bridge was built from mainland to barrier islands. It was later demolished and replaced in 1995 with the Merrill P. Barber Bridge. It is named after Merrill P. Barber who was the mayor of Vero beach in 1947.
In 1957 Piper Aircraft began research and development in Vero Beach. In 1961 Piper Aircraft moved administrative and manufacturing operations to Vero after completing building additions.
In 1965 the A1A bridge over the Sebastian Inlet connected the two barrier islands. In 1979, the 17th Street Bridge was completed, allowing a second point of access from Vero Beach mainland to the barrier islands.

This building was completed 400 years before Columbus discovered America.
For someone born in the New World it's a lot of food for thought.
Went up to Zion in December 2006 after Merrie's foot surgery. This is the time to go if you wish to avoid crowds.
This is my completed Supernova quilt. I call mine a babynova because all of the fabric squares and rectangles were cut at half the original pattern size. The finished quilt measures 26.5" square. It is hand quilted with black perle cotton size 8. This was a wonderfully put together quilt along hosted by the talented Lee of www.freshlypieced.blogspot.com.
NHN's pair of GP38-2's hauls their sixteen car train up the runner this afternoon in a fairly intense snow squall. Trains have been short lately, giving a slightly better chance at shooting the southbound before darkness settles. It would be a straight shot to Dover today, although they did come north with 22 gas and 2 steel cars this morning.
I couldn't really bend in the right way to get a clear picture that I liked, so I will just post the ones that are good, so you can get the "picture".
All I can say, is that this hurt so fucking bad. I have lots of tattoos, and hours upon hours of work, but for whatever reason, yesterday was NOT my day.

Many thanks to Rachael/JemGirl and Nicole/Nikkadee for their amazing work in making this doll a reality, and also Andrew S for helping name her.
I've been living and shooting along the Norfolk Southern Lurgan Branch for six years now and I've shot every regularly scheduled train except for the nocturnal H58. The second trick local originates out of the yard in Shiremanstown on the Shippensburg Secondary and enters the Lurgan at LG 3. The push-pull train works the customers between there and CP Lees Cross Roads and is usually done work by dawn. One late night after work I heard the crew on the radio say they would be working Lane Enterprises, a plastic pipe manufacturer that gets plastic pellets by covered hopper at LG 35. I also heard the eastbound unit was a former Southern Railway high-hood GP38-2 and it would be running long-hood forward, so I knew that night would be the night I'd stay up and cross this train off my list. The moon was rising into a hazy, humid sky at 4AM as the train stopped just east of the Lane siding. The conductor is walking to the head-end after putting the train back together as the engineer charges up the air and gets ready to head back to the yard.
