Seems like the power of the force is too strong to let me get away from it all. Something old and something new will emerge for a commission just in time for?
Very few people probably still remember that I've built these light panels back in 2007 where they were used for my first MOC displayed at a Lego store. Then extensively used them again when I started doing Death Star scenes in 2010 through 2011.
Lastly did the stormtrooper vignette (www.flickr.com/photos/acpin/6057883546/) when asked how it was done which quite a few AFOLs I've met in the brick conventions still remembered. But what they didn't realize was that it was me who did it and they thanked me afterwards as they told me that they've used it in their own scenes...
Linus is always dirty because he tends to follow "his" bugs everywhere and you can be sure that no bug escapes his eyes ! At the moment he is still a quite chaotic hunter though and doesn't kill as many as he would like.
This pic is a perfect side effect of leaving home at 4 am :)
Nothing compares to morning magic light.

I like Macro Mondays weekly challenge as it takes me way outside my comfort zone which is to, ummmm….stay in bed, and find something nice to dream about.... perve that I am. But this week's theme gave me a problem. It's Wabi-sabi.
Apparently Wabi-sabi is a Japanese word roughly translating as 'imperfect aged beauty'. It is used to describe a particular philosophy that beauty can be found in the old, the everyday, the imperfect, broken and decaying subjects. Well, women aside, I couldn't think of many, and a tour of the house neither stimulated my imagination or turned up any objects that might fit the definition.
But eventually I thought of something. What is it? It has discoloured a bit over the years. But it is now almost 42 years old. And it has travelled half way round the world. When I was given it on a ship in the Far East I instantly recognised it. It was beautifully made. Specially for me.
Her name was Pauline. She was amongst the 346 Vietnamese refugees we rescued from a small sinking boat in the South China Sea in 1978. They were on board for two weeks in which time a lifelong bond was formed between the ship's crew and the Vietnamese. While on board Pauline made this for me, a pineapple, out of twisted, knotted and snipped IV tube she got from somewhere and gave it to me before they flew from Taiwan to Britain to start a new life. I've treasured it ever since. Forty two years old, discoloured, but still beautiful.
So, today, Linda and I were in a shop that had a bunch of rocks and fossils on display. As we were looking at a bowl full of ammonite fossils, the owner said he would give us one if I could guess how old they are. I said they are fossil ammonites from Morocco and are about 350 million years old.
Silence. More silence.
We moved on and I whispered to Linda that I wanted my free ammonite. I knew I was right on the age and location. After a couple minutes the owner fussed up and said I was right. He gave me one, but it was probably the smallest one in the pile. About the size of a quarter. He had them priced at $40.
Sorry about the crappy phone photo.
while walking at a flea market i chanced upon a bird vendor with a green parakeet on his shoulder. wild parakeets are known to bite so this made his parakeet domesticated and possibly hand reared. i started talking with the vendor to ask more questions about his parakeet and my hunch was right. he placed the parakeet on my hand and, guess what, i ended up taking it home he he he. these shots were taken when i was negotiating with the vendor. price: USD5.00 for a hand reared domesticated parakeet.
The Philippine hanging parrot (Loriculus philippensis) is also widely known as the colasisi[2] taken from its local Tagalog name, "kulasisi". It is a small parrot species of the Psittaculidae family. It includes about eleven subspecies, which are all native to only the Philippines; however, the exact taxonomy is unclear, and at least one of the subspecies might become split off and become a separate species if further research provides clarification.
They are mainly green with areas of red, orange, yellow, and blue varying between subspecies. Only the males have a red area on their fronts, except for the population living on Camiguin, where neither male nor female have this red area. They make nests in tree holes and, unusually for a parrot, the female takes nesting material back to the nest.

I am so excited!!! I believe this is just the second time I've seen an owl in the wild & had an opportunity to photograph one! The first was a juvenile Barred Owl in July, 2013.

At approximately 3 pm on Sunday, February 9, 2014, I looked out the window to my backyard (in Columbia County, New York, USA) & who did I see, roosting in the apple tree? Am I correct that it's a Screech Owl? At first, when I saw the coloring, I thought it might be a Red Squirrel. Then, I thought it might be 2 Red Squirrels! Looking more closely, I realized it was an owl! After taking several photos from the windows, I ventured into the yard for a closer look. The owl was gracious (or sleepy) enough to let me get quite close. I noticed that the small birds, like this Black-Capped Chickadee, were still going to the feeders & didn't seem to mind the owl at all. After taking several shots, I came back inside. The owl sat on the same branch for at least an hour & 15 minutes! What a great visit!
