After having to replace my well pressure tank today,"It sprung a leak" and the outside temp of a whoppin 15 deg. this sounded good for the afternoon.
Yesterday I was going to Nanaimo BC on the "Queen of Oak Bay" ferry boat. Looking for subjects to photograph, on the deck I found these wet tables, and the sun was shining just from the perfect direction.

A Buckeye tree in the midst of a volcanic field of flowers hasn't been able to grow very robust, but has a lovely form reminding me of a bonsai.
This stylish coffee table consists out of three bricks and an non-official building technique. the legs, two bucket handles, are put inside the edges of the table leaf, a 2 by 4 flat plate. This building technique isn't very stable because the handles will fall out the edge easily, but it looks very nice.
All Kaffe Fassett flowers, stripes, and dots. Another quilted piece finished for the upcoming Camano Island Studio Tour in two weeks. This one is 92" long and 20"wide and will fit an 8' table . I'm tempted to keep this one.
I was with a friend today doing a photowalk of sorts down at the Union Station in Kansas City, MO. We had a wonderful time catching up and shooting the surrounding areas of this wonderful area. This image reminds me to slow down and take some time to be with your loved ones. Take care my friends out there.

Hospital 126 (MSCh 126) is a large hospital based at the North end of Priypat.
The basement contains liquidators uniforms which are highly radioactive. On this note, it is not recommended to go into the basement for this reason alone.
The hospital is a vast complex occupying the largest part of the first micro-district of Pripyat. The building is adorned with huge letters on its roof that read: "??????'? ?????? - ????????? ??????" or “health of a people - riches of the country”.
It was at this hospital on the 26th April 1986 that the first victims of the disaster were delivered by ambulance: firemen and personnel of the Chernobyl Powerplant. The majority of those had already received deadly doses of external and internal radiation also having severe skin burning from beta radiation. After such doses, most did not survive; they still stood up, tried to joke about it but the days or even hours of their lives were already numbered.
Hospitals are not a cheery place to be but this one was full of dereliction, dark corridors, doors slamming with the wind. Ghosts of the past still haunting this building.
The victims stayed here less than a day; were then transported to Kiev, and then by plane to Moscow. Everybody, except engineer Shashenok, died in hospital, he was the first one to die in the night of April, 26th. There were 6 firemen, 22 powerplant workers who died of sharp radiation sickness in the 6th radiological clinic of Moscow in the course of several months after the initial disaster.
Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.

Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!

You probably recognize Scandinavian design for its modern look, use of light woods like birch, clean and simple silhouettes and practical functionality. But did you know Swedish style has a softer and more traditional side too? The new INGATORP dining table is a good example. What do you think? bit.ly/I0f581
