The Question Block from Super Mario Bros. for Nintendo. It's the same all around except the bottom and also completely hollow. Made for the GamerLUG display for Brickworld Chicago 2017.
...to answer a question, the interiors were recently done and so were very clean and decent., however the exterior and the guests were not....and as I drove around to the back where my unit was at, it was disgusting. It was like the last 100 cars had emptied out their ashtrays on the pavement...like thousands of cigarette butts...then there was the picnic table chained down which had a shopping cart next to it and the remnants of someone homeless living there along with bottles in paper bags. To top off that scene, there was the overweight seedy guy on the 2nd floor balcony intently watching my every move, his apparent ho who appeared eventually out of an adjacent room and the guy who just hung around sitting in his car, all watching me...and so I looked at the unit, measured the doorway, rode in between the parking bumpers and over the curb into the room and closed the door behind me.
I have recently been told by an old high school friend of mine that he used to do the same thing...so maybe I'm not the first to do it, but it worked.
Question: who can sit still waiting longer – Rick or the Great Blue Heron?
Answer: Great Blue Heron.... by a long shot.
I sat on the river bank 2.5 hours waiting for this beautiful GBH to lift it's wings, flap, preen, do anything for heaven's sake. Nada. Nothing. S/he didn't even move his/her friggin feet! The most I got was a slight turn of the head. That was it for 2.5 hours until the light got too dim to stay any longer. (Well, actually, the wind ruffled the feathers, if that counts.)
I couldn’t figure out how the legs were tucked up under him/her. If someone can tell me the gender I’d appreciate it. When I look in my bird book it isn’t very helpful.
In any case, it was beautiful to meditate down on the river bank with him/her while the sun went down.

under the skies that transcend billions of universes,
the outsized elephant-room of questions & secrets;
deepak ` the lightwriter's canvas broach in open.
we read our dread, Who if I cried out would hear me?
mind the stillness-mat viz; feelings get encroached; at
first, you praise their dress, then you get ash-dressed.
'ours' keeps breaking - ourselves, within our perimeter.
bully / pulpit alters us; diminishes sickle consciousness.
betwixt the micro spaces of conversation / correctness,
a certain static silence had enshrined in - just all over.
harbinger of tenuous assumptions kept on ossifying
into the experiments with musts, doubts, turncoats.
approvers bare intimacy that bears inching eyes;
and when one is completely inside one's perfidy,
a cover-up mindset suborns a hushed horizon —
pretends - the decisions had been difficult. 'yes'
— deserts us in a forgetting curve that reminds us,
of sti-ff-ness between us, culturing the same sky.
take over air consternates us-sets dreams on fire.
formless hubris viz debris, give themselves to gust
to be e'er scattered betwixt this/that; bedraggled.
zeroing in, insecurity at the heart of human constructs
the displaced shoes let you see, the surface of yore.
a long haul to dig and find, the great heart of our past.
no spin here, to foresee, real ground under our feet.
unchopping a tree, perched on wasteland, silences..
a thousand mile stare, ensouls thousand silhouettes:
anagram—breathy.ed each other to the bridging truth;
and learnedness, endlessly multiplied with curtain call.
where e g /oquence isolates honest assessment, not
being one of their chiliad/st.ic quarters isn't isolation.
not a diminishment, if being exercised more fully -
- truth's episodic memory is tender and unwavering;
ongoing procedure of days - = - simply transformative,
to rain align, all the absorbed moments of illumination.
bathed in light, friendships bear holistic temperament
alert, alert, alter! “after the game is before the game”.
tales shine in via our window of thousand caresses,
where you are sewing a blouse that feeds the spine.
tender paws & sky-ball inside, dashing out of a conch;
over tears-coasts, the white expanse, so kind & clear.
coconut chirping an intrinsic and glorious awakening.
rose dew here, and trouble talk lies beyond the map.
the truth is made real through servitude in affection.
psithurism of intimate revelations recalls clutched keys;
the key did turn. everywhere you turn is full of wonder.
awed to see - the shift inside, shifts deep garden state!
how did a blackbird of the milky way land up here,
that joy glistens in the kaleidoscopic, tent•i•er eyes.
how else to truly trace this landscape of provenance,
a cat following a radiant butterfly to the ringing bells.

>> Q: Why do your destinations only last 2 weeks?
- A: Because after 2 weeks doing destinations the way me and my staff do, we all need a change, specially me! After 2 weeks I barelly can look at the destination nor be in it anymore, I cannot explain why, its just how I feel and its a deep feeling lol. I have a nomad / gypsy spirit, guesst developped by my late dad, because when it came to trips, one day were here and the next day, there.
>> Q: Why do your destinations only open on week-ends?
- A: Because most of my guests work during the week and I am also extremelly busy with my businesses (RL & SL) during the week, I can barely stop too long in one spot.
Plus, on week-ends, staff and guests are normally home so we can all make sure to have a blast with our guests! They have our full attention for 9am to 6-7pm slt.
>> Q: Why do you do full service destinations?
- A: In 2011, I noticed most people I was encountering in SL had not travelled ever in real life. I have been very fortunate when it comes to traveling, i have always done it my all life and I wanted to show people in SL who had never travelled, how amazing it can be and this is why I opened my first destination in 2011 and each year and as time goes by I always try to find way to improve this virtual traveling! Another reason its because I LOVE roleplay, during 5 years of my life I was addicted to roleplay in SL, in roleplay world such as Gor or Crack Den, I am what many call in the roleplay world, a paragraph roleplayer, I will create stories, weave stories and make full paragraphs that will make you travel in your mind. This side of the grid, there is no such, so I wanted to join both, experience of traveling with roleplay. Thurd reason is because I believe destinations can be a spot of meeting new people and its why in my full service destinations, our guests eat all at same table so they can interact, I have seen beautiful friendships start this way and it makes my heart sing of joy!
>> Q: Why do you do AirBnB destinations?
- A: Because I also have guests who don't liek to interact, which is why I don't have staff in these destinations and guests can enjoy their vacations the way they see fit, since and when there is respect to the destinations rules and other guests so all can enjoy! I always try to see ways to have something for everybody.
>> Q: Weren't BADU destinations supposed to be public ones with vacation rentals only?
- A: Don't worry, they will come back as well, I have so many projects to be done starting this year for the traveling world in Second Life and as usual I will do my best to cover all sides and have a bit for everyone! Keep an eye open!

I just got back from the zoo and right now I'm one tired lady. I have to cook dinner and feed my dogs but I will be returning to Flickr to see as many of your beautiful picture's possible. Thanks so much for everything! You my friends are the best. I hope you have a really nice weekend and Labor Day Holiday. Hugs!
I ran into this little squirrel when I was going up the jungle path at the zoo. He or she was very interested in me and my backpack. I think the thought of food was on his or hers mind. It was really shaded where the little squirrel decided to stop and take a look at me. A sidway glance told me to be as still as possible so I could get a picture of him or her. I had troubles getting the shot because I had too large of a lens on my camera. Anyway this isn't the best picture but I still liked it enough to post it. The little squirrel was so cute. The photo is uncropped.
yesterday was a good day got to hang out with a few friends out in Modesto , as i chilled i started to experiment thru out the piece and i took 2 different shots of it 1 with the "E" and the other with out it.. what do you think looks best?

A couple of days ago I was a question or should I say I was requested to post photos of what would be wearing over the past few days, The kind of outfits to do housework, shopping and how I would dress if I was full time.
I was going to go all practical but then decided that those photos would be contrived because that's not how I would dress for the most part. I don't do normal casual clothes all the time. Yes they have a time and a place normally down to job to undertake, environment, and lack of anything else to wear.
So this was yesterdays outfit. I did the washing and hung it out, then went into town to get my shoes re-heeled, Returned home got washing in and put it away then cooked dinner all in this outfit, So pleased I wore the sweater as it was blooming chilly.

Good morning everyone and I hope you had a nice weekend. As the the title indicates, presented today are my first pics of a Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis). I know, kind of late in the season, but unlike the Eastern Comma, Autumn is usually my best chance to photograph one of these.
Seen here is what is known as the winter form as evident by the orange hind wings, which in the summer form are dark. Almost black.
Just three pics, of which the other two can be found in the comment section and my stream. Both are lateral shots of which one was taken using the flash. Something I rarely ever do for fear of hurting the butterfly, but did in this case only because of the long distance between me and the butterfly, and it was perched in heavy shade at the time. Otherwise I don't recommend using a flash when photographing butterflies, or any insect. Especially if you're very close.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great day and week. And Happy Columbus Day to those of you living in the United States.

Cloudy (Paul Simon)
"...Cloudy
My thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy
They have no borders, no boundaries
They echo and they swell
From Tolstoy to Tinker Bell
Down from Berkeley to Carmel
Got some pictures in my pocket and a lot of time to kill
Hey sunshine
I haven't seen you in a long time
Why don't you show your face and bend my mind?
These clouds stick to the sky
Like a floating question, why?
And they linger there to die
They don't know where they are going
And, my friend, neither do I
Cloudy..."

Even though there are streaks of light flying by and the city lights, there's something to me about this that speaks of solitude.
The town I grew up in is an odd little place, a mixture of moving forward and stagnation. I'm sure lots of little towns are like this, unsure whether they'll wither or thrive. As with people, there's beauty and ugliness to find. I tend to concentrate on the former. While I was taking this shot, I heard a voice from across the street, "Are you taking pictures of that?" I yelled back in the affirmative. A couple of similar questions. The last one she replied, "you know, it is pretty at night." There was a sound of incredulity. As if she'd never noticed before. A second later, her friends stepped out of a nearby shop and I heard her telling them about me taking pictures of the depot and how pretty it was. There was an odd feeling of accomplishment regardless of whether the photo is worth anything to anyone other than me.

I've got to get to you first
Before they do
It's just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I've got to get to you first
It's just a question of time
Ironically, a question mark hangs over this former church in Sandown, as it's fate is decided by God.
