This hands-free hanging magnifier belonged to my paternal grandparents. Van Waffle (Pappy) might have used it for looking at his stamp collection or Fern (Mimi) might have used it to read books and the newspaper. I felt closer to Pappy than my other three grandparents. He had been a self-made, successful business owner and a hard man by many accounts. I never saw that side of him. The year I was born he suffered a heart attack and retired. I guess it softened him. He had time for me. He remained active and did not have another heart attack until 20 years later when he died peacefully in his sleep, age 82. I've kept this magnifier since Mimi moved out of their house into a nursing home 30 years ago, knowing it would become useful someday. So far I have only used it two or three times to fix difficult knitting errors. Pappy would be puzzled to find me using it in fibrecraft, but he shared my enjoyment of gardening and storytelling.

I wanted to release this a while ago (before the Sinistre eyes), but i changed them a lot, to a point where they barely look like the first editions...

This shot of a curly fence in Brooklyn Heights made me think of looking inside a wave. Here are some surfer terms defined: "The barrel is where the wave is hollow when it is breaking. Surfers love to be in the barrel, otherwise known as the tube or green room." HFF everyone, and may your weekend be totally tubular.
Alas, behold the humble fin! Nine years earlier in 1948, and preceding what most will say the rear fin began, it was here on the all new look 1948 Cadillac when the fin first appeared. This was before Virgil Exner's finned beauties on the later fifties Chrysler Corp cars, and even before Kenny Rogers and The First Edition! Cadillac maintained fins of various sizes throughout the remaining 12 model years, and most would agree that they reached their ultimate, most outrageous size in their 1959 models. By 1961, Cadillac's fins were all but gone, and have remained gone since. Will they ever come back...who knows? Fashion trends have a way of doing that, so for now, it'll be a wait and see.
الـهـاتـف الـلـي مـايـقـدرك راعـيـه . اشـطـب عـلـى اسـمـه فـي الـدلـيـل مـن اسـاسـه
بـالـذات لا كـلـمـت عـجـلان تـبـغـيـه . وتـمـت بـدون اسـبـاب مـن قـو بـاسـه
ادخـل عـلـى اسـمـه وسـو لـه حـذف والـغـيـه . مـدام هـذي الـمـرجـلـه فـي قـيـاسـه
الـلـي يـبـيـعـك لا تـعـود وتـشـريـه . حـرج عـلـى بـيـعـه بـسـوقـن نـخـاسـه
خـل الـقـدم يـمـشـي ولا تـلـتـفـت فـيـه . وان اعـتـرظ لـك حـط فـوقـه مـسـاسـه
الـصـاحـب الـلـي مـايـنـومـسـك طـاريـه . خـلـه عـسـى بـاقـي حـيـاتـه تـعـاسـه
دور وتـلـقـا لـك خـويـن تـخـاويـه . الـيـا عـمـس بـالـك يـطـيـر عـمـاسـه
والـيـا نـصـيـتـه بـمـرك الـصـعـب يـقـظـيـه . والـيـا نـخـيـتـه يـنـفـجـر مـن حـمـاسـه
صـديـقـك الـلـي فـي الـمـواقـف تـلاقـيـه . وعـدوك الـلـي فـي الـهـدب فـي حـسـاسـه
وان جـابـتـه كـلـمـه الاخـره تـوديـه . والـيـا لـقـا لـه درب يـحـطـبـك فـاسـه
هـذا يـشـبـه حـي وهـذا يـدفـيـه . وهـذا يـصـبـه صـب فـي ربـع كـاسـه
ويـاوسـع صـدر الـوقـت عـلـى بـلاويـه . ويـاطـول صـبـري مـن عـنـا بـعـظ نـاسـه
Yellow Admiral (Vanessa itea)
I had wandered around the garden earlier in the day, finding only a couple of European Honey Bees and had raided the recent files fo an image or two. Later I decided to bring the bins around to the front so I don't forget to put them out tonight and spotted this Yellow Admiral flitting around the Jade flowers.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
This month, I had the pleasure to be the Guest Stylist for ECLIPSE Magazine (5 exclusive pics, page 112).
Many thanks to Tempest Rosca to give me this opportunity.

Hoy dormiré desnuda,
piel huérfana de maquillaje y tejido
frágil cáscara, cuero vivo.
El cansancio y el peso se quedarán fuera
ni el dolor, ni la esperanza cruzarán la puerta,
apagaré las palabras y desmontaré el pensamiento.
Me despojaré de prejuicios, rencores y decepciones.
Atraparé un sueño cristalino, sin fondo ni motivo,
sueños atrapados en una noche sin costuras.
...................
Today I will sleep naked,
orphan skin of makeup and tissues
fragile shell, live leather.
Fatigue and weight will be out
neither pain nor hope will cross the door,
I will turn off the words and dismantle the thought.
I will shed prejudices, resentments and disappointments.
I will catch a crystalline dream, without background or motive,
dreams stuck in a night without seams
Not a great week weather wise for getting out to take pictures of shadows but realised today that we've been living in the shadows of the clouds all week.
The snowbanks along the driveway are quickly getting higher this winter.

Long time without taking pics from dolls. I really missed it... Thanks to Eva for letting me take some pics of her pretty Azone doll ^3^/
An unusual, pandemic-shortened Southwest Chief is framed by the MP 717 semaphores as it scoots westward on the Raton Subdivision between Colmor and Levy, NM. A couple days later, signal cabinets and concrete bases were dropped at several locations on this portion of the line, including here. Thus, this may in fact be the last shot from this spot "as-is" without a giant shiny silver box directly behind the westbound signal.
