Each bead starts with a base of Double Helix's Ekho glass. The bead is struck and reduced in the flame to produce shades purple and blue with a mother of pearl luster. Next each bead is encased for depth and then hand shaped.
Horsehead Rock is just about a perfect likness. My first time there and hopefully not my last. what was also nice was I was the only person there.

These lichen-encrusted granite rocks are typical of the Isles of Scilly where Rock Pipit is a common breeding bird. But living in the Pennines it isn't a bird I encounter that often. You can see this one has rather smudgy breast markings and dark legs that are characteristic of this species, although this adult is unusually white underneath. Rock Pipits also do the parachuting song-flight typical of pipits. About 36 thousand pairs of Rock Pipits breed in Britain, which may sound a lot, but is 70 times rarer than Meadow Pipit with 2.5 million pairs. Also Rock Pipits only breed on rocky coasts so they are absent as a breeding bird from the sandy/saltmarsh coasts of much of Lancashire, Lincolnshire and East Anglia (though they do winter in these sandy coasts and saltmarshes). Here's the breeding distribution map: app.bto.org/mapstore/StoreServlet?id=900
Fastnet Rock (Irish: An Charraig Aonair, meaning Rock of Solitude or Lonesome Rock) is a small clay-slate island with quartz veins and the most southerly point of Ireland, 6.5 km southwest of Cape Clear Island (Oileán Chléire) in County Cork, which is itself 13 km (8 miles) from the mainland. It lies in the Atlantic Ocean 11.3 km south of mainland County Cork, at latitude 51.37°N. It rises to about 30 m above low water mark. Study of the documentary record suggests that the name is from Old Norse Hvastann-ey 'sharp tooth island'.
Divided into Fastnet Rock proper and the much smaller Little Fastnet to the south by a 10 m (30 ft) wide channel, it also had the nickname 'Ireland's Teardrop' as it was the last part of the country seen by Irish emigrants to the United States in the 19th century as they sailed past it.

FASTNET ROCK
I write a logbook in this lighthouse,
Autumn waning, winter coming
Wind from the North
Gelid blowing;
Sun cloud-shadowed,
shortening days.
ships wave battered,
ploughing ocean,
And every night
migrant birds calling.
Spindrift sprayed.
The tower windows;
A time of change
That's my log.

It is again the season of beatiful ice rafts! Sometimes, the fresh transparent rafts grow large, having diameter of 1 meter (3ft) or more. Yesterday, it was baby rafts instead
This is a 235 foot (72 metres) high monolith that towers over Cannon Beach. I'd wanted to visit Haystack Rock for years, so grabbed the chance when hubby suggested a beer-tasting road-trip around Oregon. This is a four minute exposure taken very early.
This picture has been chosen by the Hard Rock Casino for advertising later on this year. I am very glad they decided to use this photograph.
This image made Explore October 14, 2007. Thanks friends !!!!!!
This is the Hard Rock in Biloxi, MS. I took many pictures of the hotel and casino, but I think this is my favorite. I asked my husband to park under the huge guitar in order to make this shot. They were nice enough to let us park in front so we did not have to use the deck. The car is a 1954 Chrysler, New Yorker and it is an original car.
On the Northumberland coast, which is nothing like the south coast of England but for a while I was transported back to my childhood again.
Boscastle
Taking the coast path from the village centre of Boscastle, up towards the white building, which is the coast watch station at Willapark, this is the view out into the Atlantic Ocean and the outer entrance to the harbour. Meachard Rock is centre photo with Penally Point to the right.

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of Spain's Iberian Peninsula. The main focal point is the Rock of Gibraltar, a 426 meter high limestone ridge that shoots straight up into the sky from the sea! This limestone mountain has a nature reserve with wild monkeys along with batteries, fortifications, and tunnels. Spain is just on the other side of the Rock of Gibraltar.

We went to Graphica's stage/showroom to shoot some photos for the spring catalog and to play around with some new toys. They were also kind enough to add our profile to their homepage.
