First steps outside! Been working in the garden today and with the weather being lovely, we decided it was a good time to introduce Rosie to the back garden. She's had a ball today! She is the fastest tortoise in St Helens! Turn your back on her for one minute and she is off!
For over a year now, Elisa and I have been looking out for opportunities to contribute to our Found Shadow Project. Here are some of the results.
We set up these rules for the project:
1. Only 'found' shadows could be entered in the project (nothing is staged!).
2. The object casting the shadow must be out of frame.
3. Only available light, natural or otherwise. may be used.

Strobist Info: Nikon SB-26 @ 1/8 power in a Westcott Apollo 28" to the camera left. Second SB-26 @ 1/16 power with a Full CTO camera right.
Seen behind the reception desk at work. It seems wrong to see daffodils in June when it isn't spring anywhere in the world as far as I know. But it looked so simple and elegant that I had to snap it.

Nos. 2 of 5
Germany - Lubeck: Schusselbuden.
On the Schusselbuden corner of Mengstraße, and opposite the courtyard of St. Mary's Church lies a three part structure with facades of the 18th century: the Pastorat known as die Wehde, after which the Blockbinnenhof Wehdehof is also named.

The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
Slightly edited shot of the preparations for 'Project Space Invader'. Taken with my HTC Desire mobile phone.
Earlier this week I've started 'Project Space Invader', made possible by some spare time I've had at work, and I am proud and happy to report that the Production-stage has been finalized, and I am now the excited owner of a Post-it's, paper-based (the Environment!), funky-wicked, mega-sized, yellow Space Invader, that I intend to hang up all over the best city in the world, shoot it, and then set it free somewhere, so that the next person who likes it, can have some fun with my little Alien :)
To be continued...
One of the many love locks on a bridge on the Wellington waterfront. I snapped this when looking for the clues to a geocache puzzle GC60VP0. I now have all but one of the answers and I think I can find the final and sign the log book.

Greyfriars Kirk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Greyfriars Kirk, Edinburgh)
Greyfriars Kirk, today Greyfriars Tolbooth & Highland Kirk, is a parish kirk (church) of the Church of Scotland in central Edinburgh, Scotland. Its name reflects a pre-Reformation association with the Franciscan order (the Grey Friars).
It is one of the oldest surviving buildings built outside the Old Town of Edinburgh, having been begun in 1602 and completed c. 1620. It sits to the south of the Grassmarket, adjoining George Heriot's School (founded in 1628).
Greyfriars Kirk has an important place in the history of the Scottish Covenanters. In 1638 the National Covenant was presented and signed in front of the pulpit. In 1679, some 1200 Covenanters were imprisoned in the Kirkyard pending trial.
In the mid 19th century, the Rev Robert Lee, then minister of Old Greyfriars led a movement to reform worship, introducing the first post-Reformation stained glass windows in a Presbyterian church in Scotland, and also one of the first organs. He received considerable criticism at the time, but most of his proposals were subsequently widely accepted in the Church of Scotland.
For many years, Greyfriars Kirk was divided into two places of worship — Old Greyfriars and New Greyfriars. These two congregations united in 1929 and the historic church building was subsequently extensively restored. The interior dividing wall between the two former separate sanctuaries was removed as part of these renovations, completed in 1938.
Given the depopulation of Edinburgh's Old Town in the early part of the 20th century, many neighbouring church buildings were closed and their congregations united with Greyfriars, including the New North Church and Lady Yester's Church. In 1979 the congregation united with the former Highland Tolbooth St John's Church (this building on the Royal Mile is now used as "The Hub", the headquarters of the Edinburgh International Festival society). The post-1979 united congregation continues to use Greyfriars Kirk, with Sunday services in English at 11am and in Scottish Gaelic at 12.30pm. (This is the only Church of Scotland congregation in the east of Scotland with regular services in Gaelic). The current minister (since 2003) is the Reverend Dr Richard Frazer.
Greyfriars Tolbooth & Highland Kirk is part of a Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP) with St Columba's-by-the-Castle (Scottish Episcopal Church) and Augustine United Church (United Reformed Church).
Four ministers and one elder of Greyfriars Kirk have been Moderators of the General Assembly:
* George Kay, 1759
* William Robertson, 1763
* Robert Henry, 1774
* James Ogilvie, 1918
* Alison Elliot, 2004

Back Story.....................
Many of you have become familiar with the Trap Line Project.
An hour ago I went out to check on my trap lines.
Specifically to give my friend Larry his monthly medicine.
Larry's in bad shape but he was in worse shape not long ago.
One eye appears to be slightly better but his coat is still fairly rough due to mange and worms.
Not to worry, he is improving ever so slowly.
Thank you all for leaving a message and your on going support.
Thank You.

Threw in a little orange. Hope that works.
For Project Improv charity quilt. The fans are from a Kaffe Fassett print that I love.
You've been working for weeks on this and you're really optimistic about it, but when you arrive at the theater the day everything has to pay off and you see the empty seats looking at you, then you realize you have a responsibility.
Hours of preparation pass, really quick, and a uncomfortable feeling grows in your stomach. The last moments before the show starts arrive, sooner than expected, and there is nothing you could do about that. The murmur of the waiting public, too many people, annoys you, and as if it were a fiction story, the rain has come to salute as well.
Suddenly, someone opens the door, and a bunch of people take their places. Some of them don't have a seat and they occupy the stairs. And then the show goes on. It didn't go as you expected, but it finishes with a warm applause.
When it's over, you start thinking with normality. The main feeling is that too many things that were designed and developed, too much effort, have not been used or shown during those 20 minutes, the minutes that really count. But it wasn't a failure. It was a success. At least you think so, and that matters a lot.
And then you realize, this pain, this anxiety before the start feels good afterwards. It's kind of addictive.
(Note: this picture was taken on December, when I visited the theater for the first time to check the lightning. I took exactly the same picture yesterday to use it for 365, but my camera got stolen afterwards. I hope you understand.)
Project 2012: use every single TGF image I own on a card or project. This is card 7/71. Me Time Anya is #31 on the list.
I am blessed with the most sweetest, kindness and overall amazing neighbor. I can't leave her husband out because he is just as kind and friendly as his wife. Their yard is filled with beautiful flowers that bloom throughout the spring and summer. This year I noticed flowers that I'm not sure I've seen blooming on this plant before. I had to get the camera out and see what I could discover.

CEA Project Logistics have a proven track record in specialised transport, one of our areas of expertise is Helicopter Transportation having completed several projects previously for the Sikorsky group and their Seahawk SH-60. This experience was a key factor when a new client chose our specialised transport services for several Agusta Westland AW149 medium class helicopters.
The Royal Thai Navy have ordered 5 Aircraft all to be delivered in 2017, CEA were employed to carry out all unloading at Laem Chabang Port and transportation to the Utapao Navy Base for assembly, after assembly the helicopters would fly to their new base in Northern Thailand to replace the Bell UH-1H helicopter.
The helicopters arrived at Laem Chabang Port A-5 on the NYK vessel Oceanus Leader. Each helicopter was shipped on a mafi-trailer with a bespoke fabricated saddle for the rear landing gear. Laem Chabang Terminal Tractors removed the helicopters from the Oceanus Leader positioning them next to the CEA 50 Tonne mobile cranes. Each helicopter was lifted from the mafi-trailer by a specialised hook attached to the main rotor, the five shackles of the hook were fixed to the main rotor by five lifting slings. The helicopters were lowered on to awaiting Air Ride trailers each fitted with a saddle for the rear landing gear.
Wooden chocks were placed on the front landing gear and lashing applied. CEA further secured the cargo with more two more lashing slings connected to the rings on either side of the fuselages. Other aircraft accessories were also loaded and secured. After each helicopter was lashed and secured the convoy began the 70km journey to the Royal Thai Navy base at Utapao, Rayong province.
A CEA escort vehicle was used throughout this specialised transport project to ensure maximum safety on the route to Utapao. Upon arrival at Utapao, the CEA teams removed the lashing allowing the 50 Tonne mobile cranes to lift the helicopters from the trailers using the same method as before and placing them in their respective hangers. Project duration from start to finish was 7 hours.
TEN project explores the idea of family relationships in connection to time. It started as a result of meeting one of my cousins, Gabriela, after almost 10 years; we spent little time together, trying to rediscover each other and (re)create a connection. Although natural and absolutely not staged, the series of portraits explores the familiarity versus the unknown, the blood relationships, the time and the distance. The title is also connected to Gabriela's maximum grade (10) that she received on a recent MA graduation exam. Will update it soon.
