Melissa's birthday card this year. I gave her a coupon for a nice dinner out.
I continued the pattern on the backside as well, and am thinking it'd make a nice wrapping paper pattern.
Pen and watercolor.

Edited fabric pattern for Japanese clothes from the de Young Museum in San Francisco. The patterns all repeat in at least one direction. Pattern repeats vertically.
{Find a repeating pattern today and make a photograph of it.}
Went for a chilly walk this morning and came across this walkway. There are several repeating patterns...The pillars, the trellis, the bricks, the lines in the benches....worked for me.
...lichen and lace, nature imitates nature....

The Spencer repeating rifle was an early American lever-action firearm invented by Christopher Spencer. This was the world's first military metallic cartridge repeating rifle, produced from 1860. Offered to the US Army right after the Civil War broke out in 1861, the view by the Department of War Ordnance Department was that soldiers would waste ammunition by shooting too rapidly at the enemy with repeating rifles, and thus denied a government contract for all such weapons. Shortly after the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, the repeating rifle was demonstrated to President Abraham Lincoln, who was impressed and ordered the Army to adopt it for production, but the Army disobeyed the order. At the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center.
In Sep 1863, the US Army under General Rosecrans seized the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, a railway center and gateway to the Confederate industrial centers of Atlanta and northern Georgia. The Army advanced about 10 miles (16 km) past the city, almost to West Chickamauga Creek, southeast of Chattanooga. The Confederate response was to reinforce their army under General Bragg and counterattack later that month. The counterattack, known as the Battle of Chickamauga, succeeded in driving General Rosecrans and two of his three corps commanders in headlong retreat back to Chattanooga. The third commander, General Thomas, held firm, allowing the fleeing forces to recover and earning for himself the nickname "The Rock of Chickamauga." With 34,600 casualties for both sides, the Battle of Chickamauga was second only to the Battle of Gettysburg in Civil War losses.
I visited this place April 15, 2018.
A sidewalk with patterns similar to the National Aquatics Center to which it leads. Taken at the Olympic Park in Beijing.
The Olympic Park (北京奧林匹克公园/Beijing Aolinpike Gongyuan) in Beijing, China, hosted the summer games in 2008. The park is located in the Chaoyang district of Beijing, a bit north of downtown. The easiest access (by subway) is simply to go to the Olympic National Stadium station or Olympic Park station on subway line 8.
On the grounds of the park are most of the recognizable sites from the game. Most notable are the National Sports Stadium (Birds’ Nest) and National Aquatic Center (Water Cube). Also on the grounds are the National Indoor Stadium, the Olympic Green Hockey Field, Olympic Green Tennis Center, and Olympic Green Archery Field.
For non-sporting venues, there’s a long Promenade running north-south through the middle of the complexes. Ling Long Pagoda is just north of the Birds’ Nest. Also on the grounds, post-Olympics, are quite a few interesting sculptures (reminiscent of the Olympic Park in Seoul, although their sculpture park is more centralized within the park).
One thing that you don’t see much of at the Olympic Green is…green. It’s mostly paved and concrete. (Perhaps I didn’t explore enough, which I’ll remedy quite soon.) Regardless of the time of year or time of day, there are always quite a few people at the Olympic Park. True to Chinese nature, you are beset upon by vendors hawking all kinds of trinkets upon leaving the subway. Kites, souvenirs, having your picture taken, you name it…
Thanks to the art located throughout the park, it’s a pleasant place to visit during the daytime. During the night, it’s even more attractive as they still light the Birds’ Nest and the Water Cube. (Of the two, the Water Cube is less appealing during the day and more appealing at night.)
Of the venues, I don’t know which ones are open and closed to the public. Most of the seating in each has been reduced after the Olympics. I do know for a fact, though, that you can tour the Birds’ Nest (limited access, of course) for about 80 RMB. I think that may include access to the roof. I haven’t taken that tour yet, but may at some point.
Although there isn’t much to do at the park here, it’s definitely an interesting side trip in Beijing and could possibly be coupled with something like the Bell Tower & Drum Tower (a few stations down line 8) or the Yonghegong Lama Temple (about 5-6 subway stops away, but 2 subway transfers).
Background changes, Clematis 'Niobe' just keeps blooming. (in some photos I labeled this magenta clematis 'Rosemoor' in error.)
Something nice and bright to alleviate the dust and flat colors of the renovation photos. I think this will be the last of my playing around with these bead bags, so a sigh of relief all around...
This tiles nicely (thanks to The GIMP) if you're so inclined.

The Scott Run Trail in Cooper's Rock State Forest is rated a "medium" difficulty. It is mostly easy except for the flat parts where you're walking in miniature creeks. Oh, and the absurd inclines covered in annoying rocks, mud, and puddles. So glad to have my new hiking boots!
Testing a new pattern design. I'm still pretty new to repeating patterns, this one is experimenting with diamonds.

Repeating its historic excursion made in 2004 during the Grand Excursion, CP 2816 and MILW 261 make another double-header run down to Winona in September of 2007.
