During a walk with the kids in the park close to our house (Haarlemmermeersebos). I saw these buttercups reaching out to catch some sunlight.

So, the AVE engines are coming along nicely, although they’re far from finished. Plus, I had some fun messing around with Studio’s lighting and a bit of display track!

I have been working with a grant that San Antonio high school students obtained to spread Spay and Neuter information across the city.
It was so hard to go here and not bring home one of these animals.

I'm finished! I was really going for a "strong" look on this. I did this by making at sturdy as possible and adding pieces to cover the studs. I am going to keep the windshield, and nobody is gonna change my mind. Now that this is finished, I'll either work on a Falcon, get the pieces for a Falcon by someone else, or get the pieces to make another Warthog.
A bird of southern swamps, the Anhinga is known as the Water-Turkey for its swimming habits and broad tail, and also as the Snake-Bird for its habit of swimming with just its long head and neck sticking out of the water. They are a very common sight throughout most of Florida and the Southern United States.
Unlike ducks, the Anhinga is not able to waterproof its feathers using oil produced by the uropygial gland. Consequently, feathers can become waterlogged, making the bird barely buoyant. However, this allows it to dive easily and search for underwater prey, such as fish and amphibians. It can stay down for significant periods. When necessary, the Anhinga will dry out its wings and feathers, with the resemblance of the semicircular full-spread shape of its group of tail feathers while drying them out, to that of true meleagrine males lending the name "water turkey" to it. It will perch for long periods with its wings spread to allow the drying process, as do cormorants. If it attempts to fly while its wings are wet, it has great difficulty getting off the water and takes off by flapping vigorously while "running" on the water ~ Florida Wetlands

This photo was taken during a Who We R Youth Group workshop. It shows two young Irish Traveller girls who are reaching for new heights, and not afraid to show their true identity!
Crossing petty boundaries/barriers of caste,class,religion,ego and reaching out to someone...a neglected/dejected soul ....and giving him hope...is perhaps one of the best things one can give back to mankind....
I love a good storm every once in a while :) The clouds a couple days ago were JUST amazing. Luckily we didnt get much rain...it must have rolled past our house before it got really bad...but it sure did LOOk scary! The sky was full of rage!

We planted seeds a month ago and grew indoors (put outside on warmer days) until last weekend. I built the raised garden beds and hauled the mulch/dirt from the edge of our property. I'm really proud. Gio is more into helping some days than others, but we all like doing it and wish we would have done it (properly -- a few lackluster failed attempts) earlier!
Swan Reach.
The abundant black swans that used to float on the Murray here gave their name to the district. White occupation began with the pastoralists in the 1850s and 1860s. The first two stations were Swan Reach and Portee. A third soon was settled called Punyelroo. The original Swan Reach homestead was built around 1865 by Eardly Heywood but things changed when the government established a ferry service here in 1898. Just prior to this the station was sold in 1896 to Emma and Paul Hasse from Lobethal. The old homestead was converted into the Swan Reach Hotel which was licensed from 1899 to Emma Hasse. A town was surveyed in 1899 on Paul Hasse’s land with 46 town blocks. The first town blocks were sold in 1900. As the pastoral stations were broken up for wheat farming and smalls scale sheep grazing more people in the district boosted the development of a small town. The district Hall opened in 1902 (the school met here from 1902 to 1917) and the first Council Chamber was built in 1907; around 1902 the first Post Office opened in the general store; in 1904 a general store opened below the Swan Reach Hotel. It is still there but has closed as a general store in 2012. A police station was built in 1911 and the first policeman assigned to the district; a Lutheran manse was erected in 1911 and Lutheran services were held in this house until the church was completed in 1923; a small private hospital opened in 1913; and a fine stone Congregational Church opened in 1914. The town was established. Farmers came from the German settled areas of the Eastern Ranges and English background settlers came from all over the state. The earliest graves in the cemetery appear to date from around 1905. The early days at the port of Swan Reach were busy as local wheat farmers carted their grain and wool to the town for shipment down the Murray to the rail terminal and facilities at Murray Bridge. This river trade ceased once motor trucks became more widespread in usage in the mid 1920s.
In later years the town got a new state school (1917) and a Town Hall/Institute building in 1933. During times of peak flood for the Murray much of the town was flooded, especially in 1917, 1931 and 1956. Swan Reach also had from 1925 the United Aborigines’ Mission along the riverfront. The concept was to provide some housing for displaced Aboriginal children.UAM was the group that ran Colebrook Home at Eden Hills etc. This mission closed down in 1945 when donations from the Gerard family allowed for the purchase of land at Loveday in the Upper Riverland for the establishment of the Gerard Aboriginal Mission. The Gerard Mission was taken over by the State government in 1961 and it was handed over to the Gerard Aboriginal Council in 1974. Not far from Swan Reach is Kroehn’s Landing south towards Walkers Flat. This is an important Aboriginal archaeological site as it was the first archaeological dig site in Australia undertaken in 1929. Work at this site allowed archaeologist to date the Aboriginal occupation along this stretch of the Murray back to 7,000 years ago. At that time this revolutionised archaeological theory about how long Aboriginal people had been in Australia. Today we have evidence of their presence in Australia back to around 65,000 years ago.
Opposite the township of Swan Reach, down on the fertile river flats, is a major historical house - Silver Lea. It was built in 1908 for a local pastoralist James Brown. Brown had had Punyelroo Station for many years but by the late 1880s his holdings were down to 5,000 acres in the Swan Reach district. Then in 1885 James Brown purchased a small 275 acre holding opposite the Swan Reach Station, later hotel. Here he set about building a mansion over four years. The ceilings were imported from France and the floor tiles from Italy. No expense was spared. When James Brown died in 1921 he was buried in the garden of his beloved Silver Lea. His son Andrew Brown took over the small property and house until he sold it in 1933. The house was completely flooded in 1956 and later most of the land was sold off for the Swan Reach golf course. A later owner John George restored the house in 1989 and it is still in excellent condition as a memorial to a prominent founder of the district. Browns Well at Paruna was named after James Brown who had extensive pastoral properties across the Mallee not just near Swan Reach.
Day 24 - January 23, 2010.
Tonight was.. inexplicable. I did nothing at all during the day, no surprise there. Although, tonight around 6 I went to Engage with Kelsey and some of her church friends.
Basically, we had worship for a bit, then sat around and talked. We lit small candles and said what was on our minds.. cried.. praised.. hugged.. it was amazing. I felt so much lighter after all was said and done. It was definitely a defining night of 2010. Thank you.

With under two weeks to go until the Surrey CC bus review phase 2 changes, work had already begun on changing the bus stops to reflect the new services.
All the ones in East Surrey had been done by this point - except this one in Caterham-on-the-Hill High Street. I guess it was just too high up!
Route 409 was cut to run only between Caterham and Croydon (most journeys turning at Selsdon) and doubled in frequency. A new 509 running Caterham-on-the-Hill to East Grinstead replaced the southern section.
The 411 was withdrawn, replaced by the doubling of the 409's frequency and new route 400.
The 540 was taken over by Metrobus (from Surrey Connect), while the 541 was withdrawn - replaced by the 409 and 509.
