The latest playground craze. Luckily my son works in a shop that sells them so he can buy them before they go on the shelves!
I was walking past a bramble bush by the towpath on the Exeter canal when I heard a 'check-chack-chack' alarm type of call. I thought it was probably a Blackbird but suddenly this little Wren popped on to the top of the bush, sat for about two seconds then disappeared. I decided to stay to see if he/she would pop out again. Ten minutes later and three more fleeting glimpses, these are the result.

Series of six. I had the opportunity to watch a falconer exercising his Peregrine on the Downs. Normally all I see of a Peregrine is a quick flash and its gone, so it was a good opportunity to get some close-ups. One day I may get the same of a wild bird. Would be nice!
Fidget, radiant with the spirit of the season, wishes everyone a joyous holiday and a happy new year.
We're Christmasing in the little hamlet of Nose Hair, South Carolina, heading back to Pennsylvania tomorrow.
Seem to be a craze like yo-yo's, dingbats and Rubik's cube were in my youth. Still it's better than ipads and iphones.
I like the randomness of taking pictures of the spinner in action. :-)

Show weight for a Great Pyrenees female is 85-120 pounds (38-54 kg). Fidget, who has always gotten plenty to eat, weighs 75 pounds, making her a wee lass by Pyr standards.
One day at the vet's office recently, a big guy came over to us, ruffled Fidgets fur and said, "You sure are cute. If you were a little bigger, you'd look just like a Great Pyrenees".
Fidget didn't bite him or even growl, but if looks could kill ...
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE - THIS CUBE HAS BEEN ASSIMILATED... - A Magic Folding "Fidget" Cube inspired by a Star Trek Borg cube.
Fidget played a trick and made it look like the wind up monsters were chasing the girls. That scared them!
We wish everyone a Happy and most of all Safe Halloween!!
My grand daughter's fidget spinner in motion taken with my iPhone 6 (1/17 sec ISO 320). To the eye the golden curves do not appear to be broken.
I really love the look of this spinner. It's the perfect size in my opinion. I'd prefer a little more rounded corners, but still a great spinner!
Fidget has almost no language. She knows only her name and hand signals for "food" and "stay". She's so kind and well-behaved that she doesn't need to know anything more.
She knows how to bring peace to people and other animals. Even feral cats don't fear her.
Faux-silent/ dialogue-less film about getting ready to work.
I've been playing with the idea of becoming a silent movie star. Well, if and only if my career aspirations to become a contortionist don't materialize.
Back online!
Great Pyrenees dogs like Fidget have three coats: Long, oily, pointed guard hairs form a water-shedding outer coat. Drops run to the pointed tips and fall off. As you can see here, the guard coat has a shingled structure.
A second layer of oily awn hairs -- think awning -- sheds water that gets past the guard hairs.
An inner coat of fluffy down hairs provides insulation that stays dry even in downpours. Down hair is shed preferentially in the spring, leaving most of the waterproof guard and awn coats intact.
We comb out down hair for a month or two in early summer rather than giving them haircuts (which would destroy their waterproofing).
(Edit, 2010: We shear 'em now. Their hair grows back over the summer.)
Yesterday, Fidget and Mouse heard a neighbor walking up our long driveway from a starting point 600 feet away. Fidget heard him first, and she is seen here sounding the alarm.
In a case of this sort, each dog gives two or three gruff barks, then moves a few feet and repeats. Their paths cross again and again as they weave back and forth along a line perpendicular to that of the incoming intruder.
They are beautiful to watch as they do this.
The title is taken from that of a photograph by Pascale une autre captured near Lac Georgeou in 2005. Pascale has a wonderful set that includes photographs of the patou in its native element.
Spent a lot of the day on conference calls and started playing with this as my daughter had left it in my office. It is quite addictive in an odd way!
after much fidgeting, it seems to work, at least in 2-d. haven't tested the z-axis that much yet. Jesse had to write his own g-code generating for EMC2.
