Being in a glade full of nectaring fritillaries is my perfect start to a summers day. Marsh Thistles and Hemlock are the pick of the plants.
Nearly perfect light came upon Arches National Park​ for the last few minutes before the sun dipped below the horizon. The light only lasted for maybe 5 minutes but I was lucky enough to be able to get to the right place at the right time to capture it. The sun poked out from behind the clouds for just a couple minutes during a passing rain shower to create a beautiful warm light upon the Arches and create a rainbow as the rain was still falling. This is Turret arch with the rainbow falling onto South Window.

I wish a
Just a perfect day
drink sangria in the park
And then later when it gets dark
we go home
Just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie too
and then home
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
Just a perfect day
problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
it's such fun
Just a perfect day
you made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
someone good
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
White-Card Models
Before the actual set construction began, the Art Department created white card models. These models helped the director and production designer look at size and scale and determine camera angles. To plan shots and camera movement, filmmakers inserted a tiny lipstick camera into the model to get a perfect point of view.
People the world-over have been enchanted by the Harry Potter films for nearly a decade. The wonderful special effects and amazing creatures have made this iconic series beloved to both young and old - and now, for the first time, the doors are going to be opened for everyone at the studio where it first began. You'll have the chance to go behind-the-scenes and see many things the camera never showed. From breathtakingly detailed sets to stunning costumes, props and animatronics, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides a unique showcase of the extraordinary British artistry, technology and talent that went into making the most successful film series of all time. Secrets will be revealed.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides an amazing new opportunity to explore the magic of the Harry Potter films - the most successful film series of all time. This unique walking tour takes you behind-the-scenes and showcases a huge array of beautiful sets, costumes and props. It also reveals some closely guarded secrets, including facts about the special effects and animatronics that made these films so hugely popular all over the world.
Here are just some of the things you can expect to see and do:
- Step inside and discover the actual Great Hall.
- Explore Dumbledore’s office and discover never-before-seen treasures.
- Step onto the famous cobbles of Diagon Alley, featuring the shop fronts of Ollivanders wand shop, Flourish and Blotts, the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Gringotts Wizarding Bank and Eeylops Owl Emporium.

Located just 20 miles from the heart of London at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the very place where it all began and where all eight of the Harry Potter films were brought to life. The Studio Tour is accessible to everyone and promises to be a truly memorable experience - whether you’re an avid Harry Potter fan, an all-round movie buff or you just want to try something that’s a little bit different.
The tour is estimated to take approximately three hours (I was in there for 5 hours!), however, as the tour is mostly self guided, you are free to explore the attraction at your own pace. During this time you will be able to see many of the best-loved sets and exhibits from the films. Unique and precious items from the films will also be on display, alongside some exciting hands-on interactive exhibits that will make you feel like you’re actually there.
The magic also continues in the Gift Shop, which is full of exciting souvenirs and official merchandise, designed to create an everlasting memory of your day at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.
Hogwarts Castle Model - Get a 360 degree view of the incredible, hand sculpted 1:24 scale construction that features within the Studio Tour. The Hogwarts castle model is the jewel of the Art Department having been built for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It took 86 artists and crew members to construct the first version which was then rebuilt and altered many times over for the next seven films. The work was so extensive that if one was to add all the man hours that have gone into building and reworking the model, it would come to over 74 years. The model was used for aerial photography, and was digitally scanned for CGI scenes.
The model, which sits at nearly 50 feet in diameter, has over 2,500 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns and torches and even gave the illusion of students passing through hallways in the films. To show off the lighting to full effect a day-to-night cycle will take place every four minutes so you can experience its full beauty.
An amazing amount of detail went into the making of the model: all the doors are hinged, real plants are used for landscaping and miniature birds are housed in the Owlery. To make the model appear even more realistic, artists rebuilt miniature versions of the courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone were shot.
This is my son and two friends up at Christina Lake. My son is jumping off the dock with his dad, Rob watching from the water. Rob spent his childhood summers at the lake so sharing such a special place with Josh meant a lot. I hooked Josh's swim shirt and trunk with material from Rob's dad's vest that he used to wear each Christmas. Howard has passed on but in the rug the three generations will always be at their favourite place.

Lucky Bamboo and Feng Shui:

positive energy, or auspicious chi, throughout your home or workplace.
An important part of feng shui, lucky bamboo plants are
said to bring good luck and fortune, especially if the plants were given as gifts.
It is important to take proper care of your Lucky Bamboo ensuring its health and vitality.
A strong symbol of good luck, Lucky Bamboo signifies good fortune, health and prosperity.
Used in feng shui, a plant usually has a combination of all the five elements which include:
* Wood - The bamboo plant
* Earth - The stones or pebbles
* Metal - The container itself (if it is made of glass is a metal element) or you can attach a small
metal figure or coin to the container
* Water - The water in which the Lucky Bamboo plant grows
* Fire - A red ribbon tied around the bamboo stalks or the container itself

Lucky or not, bamboo or not, a Lucky Bamboo plant is very elegant and attractive, and extremely easy to care for.
These tough stalks can survive in vases of pure water or in soil, and in a wide variety of light conditions.
Even a poorly kept lucky bamboo plant will live for a long time before it finally succumbs.
Light: Lucky bamboo prefer bright, filtered sunlight, such as found under a rain forest canopy.
Avoid direct sunlight as it will scorch the leaves. They are more tolerant of too little light
than too much.
Watering: Lucky bamboo can grow indefinitely in a simple vase filled with pebbles (for support) and
at least an inch of water. However, they are very sensitive to chlorine and other chemicals
commonly found in tap water. Water your lucky bamboo only with bottled or distilled water,
or tap water that has been left out for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate.
Healthy lucky bamboo roots are red, so don't be alarmed in a glass vase if you can see red roots.
Finally, good hygiene recommends that you change the water weekly.
Temperature: Lucky bamboo likes warmer temperatures of between 65ºF and 90ºF. Do not place the plants in
front of air conditioning or heating vents.
Potting Media: In addition to water, lucky bamboo can be grown in a well-drained, rich potting soil.
Keep the soil moist, but not soaking.
Fertilizer: Plants grown in water will only need to be fed every other month or so,
using a very weak liquid fertilizer. A single drop of liquid fertilizer is plenty for most
lucky bamboo arrangements. Alternatively, specialty lucky bamboo fertilizers are available.
Curly Lucky Bamboo Stalks
Lucky Bamboo stalks do not naturally grow with curls, spirals or waves. To get straight stalks to grow
into exotic and fancy shapes, growers use special techniques that force the stalks to grow in various
directions.
Dracaena sanderiana is a species of the genus Dracaena. The species was named after the German-English
gardener, Henry Frederick Conrad Sander (1847-1920). It is also known as Dracaena braunii,
Ribbon Dracaena, Lucky Bamboo, Belgian Evergreen or sometimes Ribbon Plant.
