This is my third day of shooting snow sports since the late 90's (but that was with film). This time I got to take Sketchy's D100 and my Sigma 28-70mm 1:2.8-4D. It's a little tricky, but I managed to employ the circular polarizer as well (some of the shots came out better than others).
Following the success of last year's Boba Fett helmet, I thought I'd make another one! Hand-made from scratch: no 3D printed parts
The relentless process of clearing soil, turf, flowers, shrubs and trees from front gardens in our road continues - this time two doors down from us, a neighbour with his growing family needs more parking space for his work van - he's a central heating engineer - and more cars; a growing three, even four car family.
While our garden has a driveway for one car, with room for a visitor (I divorced my car three years ago)...

...absorbs gallons of rain over the year and is showing all the signs of spring growth, this garden - no longer a garden but a frontage - adds to the accumulation in the city of sterile hard surfaces. There had been talk until recently of planning rules to discourage this but under the Coalition government this is an imposition on the individual; an interference in private space. The idea that reducing the risk of flooding might be a public good has exit-ed left.

There are a variety of grass paving options now available which allow 'green parking' for cars and even heavier vehicles. Just try web-searching for 'grass driveways'. green driveways', 'turf reinforcement', 'porous grass paving grids'....
One of my favorite parts of how this design turned out is the greeting everyone gets as they rise to the front porch. One of the main trunks of this black willow rises through the porch deck, and then through the roof above, and reminds anyone about to enter to whom it is they owe a nod of gratitude for this exceptional experience.
MAJORAS' MASK (Project: Terrible Fate)
Quick update! Finished painting some of the details from the front of the mask, now it's time for some weathering.
Living in 535 sq. feet is a constant battle. As a renter on a shoe-string budget, making major changes to my apartment is pretty much impossible. That being said, living within the constraints of my shoebox in the sky has forged a creativity I didn't know existed.

My proudest achievement and sadly largest project was the white bookcase. I got it for a song at Gothic Cabinet Craft (www.gothiccabinetcraft.com) on 3rd Avenue. The caveat being that it was unpainted, unfinished, and I had to figure out a way to get it home. Even with several coats of white, it retains a rough patina. I love it.
Lamp is from the Moma Store. Large photograph of Bob Dylan was a gift from my mother and is by the supremely talented Barry Feinstein. Pen and ink illustration by Marc McChesney, a good friend and terrific illustrator.
@ Sinharaja, Sri Lanka
Name : Yellow-fronted Barbet
Binomial nomenclature: Megalaima flavifrons
Status: least concern, endemic
Medium sized Barbet (17cm) endemic to Sri Lanka. Fairly common in the wet-zone, except the high hills. Seen solitary or in pairs frequenting in tall trees of well-wooded areas.
Rather than file off the third, unneeded hole, I decided to use it for mounting the fender stay. A 5mm spacer was used to prevent the mounting tang from contacting the fork blade.
@ Laxapana, Sri Lanka
Name : Velvet-fronted Nuthatch
Binomial nomenclature: Sitta frontalis
Status: least concern, resident
After a major sort out recently.
I was getting sick of the huge Althaea cannabina in the middle so I cut it down. It's a good plant for a larger space. I don't know if I'll keep it next year. This soil is almost too good. Things just take off. I also cut down the bronze fennel to stop it seeding about and grubbed out a lot of self-sown purple-leaved geranium and Bupleurum. The two Penstemon I was so proud of - cyananthus and barbatus, have rotted off in the wet so I've potted up what remains of the rhizomes and will keep them dry in the greenhouse until spring (P.palmeri and heterophyllus have gone completely). I think the trick, if they're growable long term here at all will be some sort of raised sand pit. Cold is not the issue I'm sure. This soil is just too rich and retentive.

For those long rail-trail tunnels, or the rare case when this bike gets used after sunset, there are a couple of mounting points for a battery powered headlamp like this:
Thank you all SO much! I'm feelin' the Flickr love.
Happy Weekend!
Many thoughts and prayers to those whom lost loved ones 9 years ago today. May they always be remembered.
Ketteler neighborhood apartment building Number 10, built in 1925
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
Ketteler-Siedlung, das südlich vom Stadtpark gelegene Siedlungsgebiet, mit dieser von 1923 bis 1933 vom katholischen Ketteler-Bauverein angelegten Ketteler-Siedlung: Als Bischof und kraft seiner eindrucksvollen Persönlichkeit baute dieser Mainzer Bischof mannigfache Vorurteile gegen eine sinnvolle Sozialpolitik ab, die Ketteler Baugenossenschaft hat sich Kettelers Namen zu eigen gemacht, um die Ideen der Selbstverwaltung und der Solidarität aufzugreifen und im Zusammenwohnen fortzuführen

Mainz, Germany – 2017NOV05 – Ketteler Neighborhood:
We strolled through the Ketteler Neighborhood in Mainz-Oberstadt, named in honor of the German theologian and politician who served as Bishop of Mainz. He resolved to consecrate his life to maintaining the cause of the freedom of the Church from the control of the State, bringing him into collision with the civil power, an attitude which he maintained throughout a stormy and eventful life.
We then walked through the site of Fort Weisenau, exercise that did us good on such a damp day with its dreary weather.
