Since Hogwarts is my home, staying home for Christmas seems to be not so bad ...
I always liked this time of the year, the snowy silence full of expectations, the soft tinking of bells, occasionally interrupted by singing armours or suddenly swooping snowballs.
Although there is still much homework to do, I'm really looking forward to one of our pleasurable Christmas traditions and the best sport ever : Base-jumping in the restricted section!
But first we have to get our portkey to Stonehenge to celebrate the Solstice and the Christmas Star in the Great Conjunction 🌠 - oh, what a night!
🎄❄️⛄⚡🎄
Happy Solstice & Merry Christmas!

I did have help from Google and Youtube...........so here you have a 65mm Cube, Blood Sweat and Tears !

The Raven:
Ravens are among the smartest of all birds, gaining a reputation for solving ever more complicated problems invented by ever more creative scientists.
The Raven is an acrobatic flier, often doing rolls and somersaults in the air. Young birds are fond of playing games with sticks, repeatedly dropping them, then diving to catch them in midair.
People around the world sense a certain kind of personality in ravens. Edgar Allan Poe clearly found them a little creepy. The captive ravens at the Tower of London are beloved and perhaps a little feared: legend has it that if they ever leave the tower, the British Empire will crumble.
Common Ravens can mimic the calls of other bird species. When raised in captivity, they can even imitate human words; one Common Raven raised from birth was taught to mimic the word “nevermore.”
The oldest known wild Common Raven was at least 22 years, 7 months old. It was banded and found again in Nova Scotia.

Solving puzzles is a hobby, addiction or compulsiveness? This is not as easy as it seems the maze pass is just barely big enough for the BB to fall through and really easy to come back out LOL. It is a close up, the puzzle is right at 3 inch across. I thought it was too big so quartered the puzzle to a 1-1/2 inch square frame to make it macro.
"You did the right thing, yeah
When you went and looked my way
I know, I know what you wanna say
You wrote it all on your face
(On, on, your)
Just beam me up, beam me up, leave me, don't bring me down
You've been fighting from the gallows
The shadows just come on out
(But you know)
It's all good when it's all bad
Be hurting all day but it's all math
You're losing your brain
And falling right back
It's all good when it's all bad
Been looking all day but it's all math
Just solve the equation
Get it all back." - QUIÑ ♫

These little Semipalmated Sandpipers were the predominate shorebird with the White-Rumped Sandpipers in with them. They look similar but are a bit smaller with a shorter black bill but from afar hard to distinguish. These Semipalmated are common migrants through here.
Here I used stroboscopic (multi) flash mode while spinning the Rubik's cube to emphasise the process of solving it.

I finally figured out what happened with this shot. While reorganizing some photos I came across the first roll shot on my Canonet way back in January. The photos had to be saturated (at the time using Picasa2) because they came out too pale--two of the photos can be seen here and here.
Well, judging by the second roll shot on the same camera, the problem is the film. This roll was part of the same batch of Fuji Superia 200 purchased on eBay. The film is not expired. The date on the package reads 2007/11 but this film was not purchased by the seller in the US like he said (closeout at B&H) because all the characters in the back of the box are Vietnamese. Perhaps that has everything to do with the quality of the film?
I have a few more of these. Should I post them? ;-)
Drusilla has gotten the hang of solving quadratic equations and loves drawing the parabola for the equation. It is so cool that the two solutions for the equation are the X intercepts for the parabola.
The name of the quadratic equation is related to the fact that you "complete the square" as you use it.

Been planning to do this one for many months, could never build up the gumption to do it.
More work than my usual shot.
Tried making black PlayDoh using white and some old inkjet ink, ended up more gray.
A few weeks ago I picked up a great assortment of PlayDoh, many colors including black. So I molded and cut and pasted the thing up last week.
Got the courage to shoot it tonight. And mind you, the flash has been misbehaving.
But it got the shot, my solution for the classic Rubics Cube.
My camera for the stereo shot arrived Wednesday. A used G6. I messed around with it and got a nice shot of a Christmas bulb filled with jello. Focusing is a pain, but at first blush, the depth of field is greater than my D90.
The G6 was 135$ shipped, so a cheap camera will do a good job with this type of photo. It's all in the flash, folks.
