May Monthly Scavenger Hunt entry - "Slice of Heaven"
Typically, the parks established east of Rockies during the early days of the National Park System tended to be small urban parks, carved out from the desire to have scenic open spaces near to home, especially for recreation, rather than with the goal of preserving a unique slice of the landscape such as the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone. Cuyahoga was one such park of the former type, nestled between major urban areas, and its story is rooted in the environmental and social movements of the 20th century. Its creation is about not only providing a refuge from the urban wilderness but restoring a landscape to be culturally vibrant, less polluted, a better home for wildlife, and a model for sustainable living.
And that was why, even though it was an arms throw from urban areas, I found places of solitude. I had visited the park during the fall season, hoping to escape the maddening crowds of a major college campus I was studying at that time. During this season, this midwest park takes on a new color scheme, covered in golds and yellows. It also becomes remarkably quieter without the urban crowds. In wandering along numerous trails that meandered through the forests and old moss-covered rocks and stonework, I realized that it truly was a hidden gem that aspired to the goals for which the park was created

What – you may be asking yourself – in the hell is an Ethel slice? An Ethel slice is a diminutive quantity of a sliceable dessert such as a cake or a pie. My mom would always ask for Ethel slices when offered a dessert. After all, some times for dessert you only want a teeny slice of something.
I assumed the Ethel slice was a standard measurement. Turns out my mom had a friend who had an aunt named Ethel. Was Ethel skinny? Was Ethel neurotic? I know nothing of Ethel except for the size of the slices she routinely requested.
Truth be told, after the first bite of cake, you have had enough anyway. Bigger is not always better; in the case of cake, bigger is often less appetizing. The Ethel slice is inherently inviting; it is scrumptiously proportioned. It suggests restraint while acknowledging and allowing indulgence.
What – you may be asking yourself – is the portion difference between a sliver and an Ethel slice. It's the distance between a sliver and any slice: a sliver is not a full slice. An Ethel slice is. It's more substantial than a sliver.
I'm not saying that the concept of the Ethel slice is anything new, I'm just trying to tie that concept to the name “Ethel slice”, a term known today by no more than a dozen or so people. The name fills a niche in our cultural vocabulary. Plus, it's so fierce-sounding: “Carrot cake?” “Oh, only an Ethel slice please.” I use it all the time. The concept is in search of its name. It has found it – I believe – in Ethel slice.
I'm spreading the saying around in the hopes it will catch on for the sake of my amusement. Who knows, maybe it will end up in a dictionary one day). Please consider participating by incorporating "Ethel slice" into your vocabulary and asking for one every now and then.
A little bit of snow remains at the edge of a bluff in Calico Rock, Arkansas as the northbound Batesville North Local passes down below.
Not much difference here from Logan's, just minor differences. Gave him a hook weapon instead of another sword. I like to think he would drag in his opponents with the hook and then slice them once close.
Added the red armor on the chest since the red is suppose to symbolize his allegiance to Kulta, and that side of the chest print has more red so it works.
The flames are suppose to represent the mystic-ness of Slicer, since supposedly it was the Skull spider that revived him, but who really knows? Just thought it added a nice dark magic vibe to it.
This building was 1960s contemporary....Every time I look at shots from this particular area it reminds me of the cartoon 'The Jetsons'....(not exactly sure why). Loved the slices of the building, sky and shadowed walkway wall, thus the title.
Sean- you'll have to remind me of the name of this building, as I can't recall it... :-)

A quickie cake for my 6mnth old bubba! Not quite 1 yet so i thought this just a slice-of-cake design would be fitting :)
I woke up this morning and the fisrt thing I did was to slice up some oranges, like I always do. Then I thought it was a good idea to take a picture of them and indeed it was.
in this view of the gold and black plume agate, you can see the end from where I took off the polished nub I first uploaded the photograph of on Dec. 22nd. On the damaged, outside edge, I had spotted the faint outline of a plume-like structure, which is why I decided to pick it up and keep it. It certainly was not a very pretty or impressive looking specimen, but I just had a feeling it might be something good.
