Dream sequence for a Uni project, self titled 'Recreation of dreams'.
A dream about turning into a doll & thrown around as children do with their toys.
This week the assignment at Ten Paces and Draw was 'Parks and Recreation'. This is what I made: a dress up doll of Tom Haverford. You can download a high res version to cut out here: www.box.com/s/fezyl87t90mli8arxuys

The amazing San Juan Islands of Washington State offer a plethora of incredible sights, exciting recreation opportunities, and memories for a lifetime.
Situated in the northern reaches of Washington State's Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands are a uniquely beautiful archipelago of over 450 islands, rocks, and pinnacles. The new San Juan Islands National Monument encompasses approximately 1,000 acres of land spread across many of these rocks and islands and managed by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management. Drawing visitors from around the world, this is a landscape of unmatched contrasts, where forests seem to spring from gray rock and distant, snow-capped peaks provide the backdrop for sandy beaches. The San Juan Islands National Monument is a trove of scientific and historic treasures, a refuge for an array of wildlife, and a classroom for generations of Americans.
On March 25, 2013, President Obama signed a proclamation to designate the San Juan Islands National Monument. The proclamation states that, "The protection of these lands in the San Juan Islands will maintain their historical and cultural significance and enhance their unique and varied natural and scientific resources, for the benefit of all Americans."

The BLM acquired the Provolt Seed Orchard in January 1981 and it functioned as a seed orchard for production, breeding and preservation of a select species of Oregon native trees until 2015. During its operation, the orchard provided a cooperative seed orchard program, public access to the Applegate River, and opportunities for local grade school education demonstrations of orchard management. As you venture through the area, you will discover the unique landscape that is now host to abundant wildlife and recreation opportunities.

Marshal Banana Millennium Falcon Recreation/MOC
I’ve been wanting a LEGO Millennium Falcon for a long time, originally I planned on just purchasing the 2nd Edition UCS set, however the price and lack of interior never sat right with me. After seeing Marshal Banana’s 2nd edition Millennium Falcon Moc with a full interior, I decided to recreate it.
Because this MOC is a recreation/modification of Marshal Banana’s, which you can check out here flickr.com/photos/marshal-banana/, I will not be releasing any files or instructions for this model as it isn’t entirely mine to release. I believe instructions for Marshal Banana’s model will be available soon.
Besides some griebling changes, I was able to modify the interior to hold more space as well as hatches for the engineering and smugglers compartments. Besides this I also changed some of the proportions of the model to better match the reference photos I used.
With over 12,000 pieces, I plan to build this model in person with a group of friends as a shared project, and will upload photos of the model when this project is complete. Thank you for your support of my models and a special thank you to my friends for your contributions. I look forward toward building the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy!

This weekend, the students of DePauw University will unite with a tremendous display of campus support for the 2005 Special Olympics Indiana Women's State Basketball Tournament. Thirty-eight Special Olympics Indiana basketball teams will compete Saturday and Sunday, March 12 and 13 in state championship competition at the University's Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center. The event takes place, in part, thanks to the support of the Finish Line® Youth Foundation.
"DePauw basically adopts this event and does the nuts and bolts to make it happen," said Scott Mingle, assistant director of sports management for Special Olympics Indiana. "The students do so much, from getting tables and special olympics logo.gifchairs in place to providing volunteers to run registration and serve as court captains, timekeepers, scorers and announcers. They house Special Olympics athletes, throw parties for the teams, and ensure that the athletes experience this as a big-time tournament."
Thirty-eight teams consisting of 382 players will compete Saturday and Sunday at the annual state championship -- the world's largest Special Olympics women's basketball tournament. Athletes range in age from nine to 61.
Tournament competition includes rounds of play in 10 divisions organized by team ability level. Prior to competing in the state tournament, all teams completed a required minimum of eight weeks of training and played at least two games within the Special Olympics Indiana basketball program. All state tournament games will play on the courts of the main gymnasium at the Lilly Center.

The Student Recreation Complex is open for free to students and offers a broad range of equipment, classes and sports.
Due to its close proximity to the Sacramento and San Francisco Bay Area regions, and because of its varied terrain, Knoxville's 17,700 acres attract many off-highway vehicle enthusiasts each year. The landscape is characterized by steep and rolling hills with the vegetation varying from scattered hardwoods and grasses to dense chaparral brush. California gray pine and Macnab cypress are also dispersed throughout the area. Of particular note, are unusual plant communities unique to the area's serpentine barrens, which are closed to vehicles to protect the delicate vegetation.
Other popular activities in the area include hunting, mountain bicycling, camping, and nature study. There is one developed campground, and an OHV staging area.

Originally constructed as a stock and irrigation pond, today's 530-acre Chickahominy Reservoir - the main feature of the BLM's Chickahominy Recreation Site - offers exceptional, year-round fishing and seasonal camping in the high desert country of southeastern Oregon.
Located just 98 miles east of Bend and 32 miles west of Burns on U.S. Highway 20, Chickahominy's primary draw is rainbow trout fishing. Since it is a standing body of water, the State of Oregon stocks the Chickahominy annually with coastal rainbow trout. Stocked fish are thought to be unable to escape from these water bodies and therefore not a threat to mix with native stream dwelling trout elsewhere in the watershed.
Although the reservoir was not stocked in 2015 due to poor habitat conditions resulting from the prolonged drought conditions in the region, state officials stocked it with over 2,000 legal-sized rainbow trout in May 2016. The water level does fluctuate with the amount of spring run-of and can be low at times, occasionally affecting the availability of fisheries, so be sure to check-in with the Burns District Office for the latest update.
Fishing may be the site's primary attraction, but it isn't the only one. In the 1960s, members of the Malheur Job Corps Conservation Center constructed a campground onsite, and today visitors can stay at 28 campsites and utilize flush restrooms, covered picnic areas, paved access roads, and a concrete boat ramp for reservoir access.
The campground is designed for visitors using motor homes (up to 40’) and camp trailers and also includes many sites for tent camping.
One word of warning: regardless of the season, strong winds are a common occurrence, so be sure to come prepared.
Constructed in the early 1950s to manage water for irrigation and watering livestock, Chickahominy has grown today to be a popular recreation site with fishing, bird watching, and camping opportunities. Stop by and check it off your Oregon bucket list!

I've recently rediscovered my music collection. Might not be to everyone's taste but I like it. Anyway, these are my lovely, lovely Skullcandy shocking pink headphones which match the lovely pink cover of my iPhone. Bit of a theme here...
I did feel a little self conscious wearing these at first - they don't exactly blend in with my hair - lol, but now I'm not bothered and can be seen walking the dogs dancing and singing along - good job I'm in the woods and not many people can see!
