Spending the afternoon packing orders.
Ran out of boxes until (hopefully) tomorrow when our new ones get delivered. Run out of bubble wrap too > o <
Clothes are at least almost ready to go!
There are still some left and further reductions were made yesterday. Everything kind of has to go so if you like something please feel free to offer! <3
13.6.16... The tiny temporary kitchen disappears in a few days while the extension is finished so mum and I did some more packing up this afternoon. We have too many wine glasses!!!!
Randomized square packing. This is an idea that I've had in my head for awhile, finally worked out to some extent.
This is a concept that I'd like to revisit, with a little more planning before I start folding. (those rows along the bottom and side? sure, of course I intended that.... :-P)
This was inspired to a large extent by the ideas being thrown around during the origami Tessellation Design Challenge 2008
for Glastonbury! Nina and I leave on Wednesday for 5 days of fun, but i'm really behind on packing and making sure i have everything! i have not owned wellies since i was a kid, but have sorted a pair out now based on the fact that it has not stopped raining in the UK for the last week! i'm sure these won't stay in such a clean state for very long!
This is everything I'm bringing to BFVA. I think I have contributions to at least 5 different themes.

These are put inside packages that are delivered to my house. The conscientious companies use these ones that are made from starch and are biodegradable.
A street seller catch in Djiahe park (Huangdao District of Qingdao China) when she arrived an start her set up. Her "shop" is quite simple, a table full of small items which are so far still hidden in the big cases on her motorbike. That's China.
Lard Packing House: No 61 Barrels/Casks/Flagons: Whiskey?
Whoever wrote the previous line got it wrong, not Whiskey but barrels filled with lard bladders, which of course we now know courtesy of sharon.corbet to pigs bladders which have been dried, inflated, and then filled with lard.
OwenMacC identifies the location as J Mattersons, Bacon Factory, Roches Street, Limerick.
swordscookie aka Sean, tells a nice story of his Family and their involvement with Matterson Company, "Mattersons moved to new premises out in Kileely in the '70's and they commissioned the creation of a plaque for the reception. My father-in-law who was an iron founder made a cast of his own hands which was then placed on the wall. When Mattersons eventually closed my brother in law managed to buy the plaque and now has it in his home! You can see a photo of the cast in the comments below.

Yes, it's time to pack my stuff again. This time for the LEGO Fan Weekend at Skaerbaek, my first time being there. The boxes are bit higher now thus no need to dismantle the models. Easy packing, easy setting everything up at the event :-) Looking forward to the event and meeting everyone!
My wife packing some presents to lay under the tree. She is the designated wrapper as the most I can achieve is a "mint-wrap" sort of packing...
I love this season! If only my wife knew how to buy me lenses...

The saltwater crocodile, Crocodylus porosus, inhabits, and is thriving, along coastlines and in waterways and billabongs around northern Australia. One power pack to be viewed with discretion, and a good long lens!
Over many years I've seen lots of salties in the wild in the Northern Territory. I took this photo while on the Adelaide River Jumping Crocodile Cruise and this is the safest way I'd recommend anyone get this close to, and learn more about, this amazing creature. Seeing these predatory and dangerous animals wild and in their natural environment, is a very 'goose-bumps' experience.

Circle packing within crescents
AA13
After the weekend Wammes, Pukkie and I are moving for two weeks as the builders are coming into my house to put in a new kitchen and new central heating. At the moment I am packing all my things from the kitchen in cardboard boxes.
Wammes has decided he wants to be packed as well but he is a bit too big for the box :-)
I've had an interesting week with 'critters' this week. After my chance butterfly encounter earlier in the week, I was thrilled to find this little creature closer to home.
Earlier in the day I had randomly called in to a local nature park with my son as we were driving past and I was kicking myself that I didn't have my camera with me. The Koalas there were the most active I have ever seen them. I ran into some American tourists who were visiting the country for only a few days and the guy was snapping madly as the koalas put on an amazing show. I decided to drive back home (about 15 mins away) to get my camera because I really felt I was missing a great photo opportunity. As i was packing my camera gear into the back of my car, I found a huge Huntsman Spider sitting inside the car door frame. That was photo opportunity No.2 for the day but I decide to just catch it and release it into the bushes in my garden and move on.
As I was putting the spider onto a shrub, I noticed a beautiful pair of Eastern Rosellas (amazingly colourful birds) picking fruit out of a tree in my yard. I have been trying to catch some photos of them all week but unfortunately they keep flying away when I get close. Again, I noticed them too late today and they flew away before I had a chance to grab the camera. Photo Opp 3 missed.
My son, who was finding this all very amusing, suddenly spotted this little green caterpillar crawling along and said "Don't worry Dad, there are photos everywhere today!"
And so, Photo Opportunity 4 presented itself and I was very pleased with the way some of my macro shots turned out - including this one where the caterpillar basically turned his head as if to stare at me in mid crawl.
I've uploaded a fairly large size because I'd like to share the detail that I find amazing. If you get a chance to look at the 'original' size here, please do. The actual original RAW files, more than double this size again, amaze me even more. I have seen things today that I have never seen before, all thanks to my macro lens and a fair dose of patience.
I don't know if this type of caterpillar is related to the butterfly I saw earlier in the week but something tells me there may be a bizarre connection.
Eventually I did get back to the koalas - but that's another story.....
