From left: Hairy Rosewood, Silky Oak, Red Cedar just coming into leaf, and Blue Fig. Behind is a Stringy Bark, a tree with a dark grey fluted trunk and one with a large, straight white trunk, with no 'skirt', a Eucalypt. . . . . . photo KR
One gallon of turkey.
I've never been all that interested in leftover turkey. It's so stringy and never seems to taste the same as it did when it was freshly prepared.
Thanksgiving at our place went off without a hitch. It seemed like it was over too soon considering the amount of preparation we did in the previous week.
My nephew loved exploring our toy collection. He especially liked the large tin of Lego bricks and the R/C truck. We never even got around to playing with the Atari.
Shopping on Black Friday was not nearly as crazy as I was expecting.
My first tutorial over at Sew Mama Sew is up - a simple, yet stunning string pillow - go check it out!
Just south of slipway at Knott End. Eating stringy filamentous algae from the mud surface. Each beak full is given a wash in a puddle first.
A tree, night sky and what I think is the stringy stuff out of a party popper thingy. I just quite like that I caught it when it was in the air :,)
Super crispy, like a Potato Galette! Filled inside is a Mozzarella-like Stringy cheese that has a hint of salty tang. To complement this greatness, is a grassy Watercress and vine ripened Cherry Tomatoes from the Chef's rooftop garden. Superb!
Antechinus are most commonly found in stringy bark forests on the Fleurieu Peninsula and Central Mount Lofty Ranges regions.
These little creatures are about the size of a (short) grain of rice. They were in considerable numbers under the bark of a Stringy Bark Eucalypt, where I often see Tree Creepers working.
Of the three, one is crawling UNDER an upside down one.
They appear to be bugs rather than beetles I think?
I eventually placed them on a glass slide, hence the shadows are displaced somewhat.
This is the greenest lingcod I have ever seen. Lingcod operate on the principle that if they don't move, you can't see them. They make for good subjects. The little white stringy things on his body are parasitic copepods. They must itch since it appears that he scratched his face trying to get them off

August 18th, 10:45 pm. Jody gets at least 12 good mouthfuls of gopher stringy sketti... after Ash and Carrie faceplant -
I used a craft knife to scrape the cabbage tree leaves so I was left with stringy fibres. When I grouped all the fibres together I found it had quite a springy quality to it.
This was my night light in Vietnam. I used it to brighten the back porch up when I was walking to the bathroom. After a while I built up a semi-fear of being kidnapped, as I'd heard had happened to my Ong's biggest dog a few weeks earlier.
This is a photo of a spin art. If you have never done spin art, it’s fun. It starts with a motorized wheel, comparable to an electric potter’s wheel or a high speed record turntable. A piece of paper gets affixed. You then add paint, then spin it. You can add globs of paint then turn on the motor, or else you can spin up the paper, then apply thin streams of paint to the spinning paper. The effects can be striking or silly, rarely great art, but always fun and a good way to introduce art and creativity to kids. There are technicalities of the media that can make the results better or worse, especially the paints. If you have ever tried this using the kits sold in toy or craft stores, the results often look stringy and runny, a consequence of using thin watery paints. But, get the right type of viscous paint and a good coated paper, and the results get much better. I made this specimen years ago, using thick paints in citrus color, all poured onto the paper from squeeze bottles before turning on the motor. After spinning for a few seconds, here are the results. While this is not really a photo, just a photo of the art, it has been useful for me as a texture or visual resource to be combined with other photos in creating new art. As an example, it has been combined with the accompanying closeup photo of a hibiscus blossom (taken in a garden in San Diego) to create a new vision of the flower bursting into color. Two similar but subtle variations of this mashup are presented.

Photo & Art Series 2
Sometimes, a photo by itself is boring or mundane, but it has an alternative life or message when combined with other imagery for an artistic reinterpretation. Sometimes a photo is not much of an image by itself, but it is a useful graphical element or resource that can be used to add textures, colors, or other enhancements to other photos or art. Sometimes a photo inspires new meanings or interpretations, and artistic re-renderings of the photo can elevate it beyond its face value subject. In this series of images, photos have been combined, hashed, rehashed, and mashed up to make new art and images.
Not good photos but they do show the eaglet was successful at getting food. This is the little island where terns were trying to nest and pups were born. The long stringy thing hanging from 2nd year juvenile's talons looks like after birth.
Despite the snow, the rain, the wind and the recent bitter cold, these roses in front of a house just around the corner from my are still clinging to a semblance of life. Of course, they should have been pruned back in the fall. But these zombie roses are in a decaying garden in front of a shabby house. Only two years ago roses were part of a very pretty little front garde, but the place is now rented out to students by a landlord who evidently doesn't give the faintest whiff of a stringy shit about what really is -for a while, anyhow - a lovely little house.
So I try to focus on the left-over roses rather than the crap on the porch and garbage on the drive.

Mom let us pick what we wanted for our birthday suppers …
- George always wanted hot dogs and confetti angel food cake
- Carla always wanted the same angel food cake with the colored confetti, for the meal, she always wanted hamburger with white sauce on toast.
- Vicki would pick something different every year, because she could. Her earliest memory was asking for “stringy meat you pull apart” (roast beef) with mashed potatoes. She remembered asking for lasagna and apple salad. She also remembered asking for steak often, accompanied by a side of ketchup.
- Vern doesn’t remember, but George thinks he chose hamburger & beans and Vicki remembers that he picked steak and baked potatoes.
- I honestly don’t remember what I picked - I do remember loving to use Chef Boy-R-Dee pizza mix - adding our own toppings and cheese.
