Today is, according to my kids, the first day of Spring. Hooray! I wanted to create a 'spring' picture which wasn't my usual flower macro.
My entry for No.54 - Spring, in 112 in 2012.
Looks nice on black - click on the image, or press the 'L' key on your keyboard.
PS. There are now no Cadbury's Mini Eggs left. At all.
One of my favorite (small) parts of our Pilgrim's Progress collaboration was the cute fluffy sheep, so when I looked around for something for this year's Creations4Charity, that jumped out at me. Built a little shepherd to go along with it!
Also an entry to Brickscalibur's Fantastic feasts and where to find them.

This is the entry to the Ile aux Herons Migratory Bird Sanctuary. When I took this shot, I was actually leaving as the sun was setting and the pretty lamps to light the path had come on. (The "turn around and take one last shot" is starting to become my favorite photo strategy.) To the left of this little bridge are the marshlands that lead into the river rapids, to the right is a peaceful pond inlet, where people are allowed to fish. I love this place, it has so many nooks and crannies, places to sit on a rock so close to the rapids and hear them rushing by you and quiet places too, where the herons will sit and pose for me... ;D
Please indulge me, it's so much better viewed large xx
And, as always, feel free to weigh in with CC and of course, if you find this too dark (still grappling with that calibrating the monitors issue).

Thanks for your visits and comments!
A Motel at Shilong in India sports a sign board "NO ENTRY FOR GOATS" . Luckily I observed that a goat is trying to read the board. Its partner wathing ot for the verdict.
In the golden age of steam and ocean travel, gentlemen who went travelling always took a small Nécessaire de Voyage and ladies a Travel de Nécessaire (small travelling case) with them. Unlike other valises, portmanteaus or trunks which would be stored in ship’s holds or the baggage cars of trains, these small cases would travel with their owners and as the names suggest, contained the essential items for a gentleman or lady to repair their toilette whilst en route.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a monthly challenge called “Freestyle On The Fifth”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each month, and the image is to be posted on the 5th of the month.
This month the theme, “beauty” was chosen by Andrew ()
These Travel de Nécessaires are part of a collection and are all early Twentieth Century examples. It seemed an appropriate entry for this months FFF theme considering they were considered essential for beauty whilst travelling.

KUMU, Estonian National Museum of Art
The international competition for the new art museum in Tallinn, organised in 1994, attracted a total of 233 entries. All the prizes went to Finnish architects, who had already had the chance of studying a similar, highly demanding task in their own country, namely the competition for the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki. The winner was a then yet unknown architect Pekka Vapaavuori. The design and construction process was long and included plenty of political discussion and media debate. The museum was opened in 2006. Vapaavuori’s design takes advantage of the site on the Lasnamäe slope. The museum can be entered from both the historical Kadriorg park and from the top of the slope. The design aims at simplicity and clarity. The exhibition halls are simple and unassuming, placing the artwork at centre stage. The ascetics of the interior continues in the exterior, which relies on the power of plain geometric forms. The main facade materials are limestone, green-patinated copper and glass.
There are exhibitions halls for collections of Estonian art starting from early 18th century as well as spaces for displaying contemporary Estonian and international art. In addition, the building comprises a spatially generous, curving foyer and a shop, library, auditorium, café and restaurant. The staff facilities and the conservation department are located in the semi-circular part of the building that surrounds the sizable terraced courtyard. In 2008, the museum received The European Museum of the Year Award. The process of this Estonian-Finnish joint venture has resulted in an actively used building with enduring architectonic qualities.

You shall not pass. This was all that was needed to protect Endor from Imperial occupation.
Four more to go. There's still one that I have absolutely no idea how to do, and it's worrying me slightly.

Construction, Week 29
Last but not least, a farther-out overview of the entry vestibule. Usually there's a lot more activity going on in this scene, what with seasonal products outside and people moving in and out of the store! It's definitely going to be a weird feeling when none of this is here anymore...

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Log entry Sol 65: I need to bring twenty eight square meters of solar panels with me on the rover to make it the 3200 to the other MAV. That's fourteen panels. Time to get to work.
A little tribute to Andy Weir's fantastic novel. I'm half-way through and can't put it down. Even bringing it in the car to read at traffic lights...
Also need to massively thank my partner for helping me out PSing the reference grid (that was driving me nuts!)
Looking forward to the movie!
bought the very last 8B in the nearest art supplies shop....
Challenging angle and beautiful sculptural face. Did not get it quite right.
