I was enchanted by this little cutie, and asked her how old she was. :) She cheerfully showed me her fingers and said "I'm three!"
Though the dentist had to fix a cavity in one of her teeth, she left as delightfully happy as she arrived!
I had been spending a lot of time thinking about this book I had when I was a kid when I saw it unexpectedly at a friend's house among a pile of papers. Except I had the three little pigs version.
For the Flickr Group Roulette theme: A Tribute to.... Tiffany {tlp photography}. Her photos inspire me. Due, a week before me, and also mom to three little ones, she and I share similar "life lines" on our protruding bellies.
Pregnancy Update: Officially three weeks left. But I am currently 3 centimeters dilated! Whoo hoo! I went to the hospital on Sunday thinking my water broke, but apparently I just peed my pants. Ha! But I'm now 50% effaced and 3 cm dilated...so it could be any day now. (I'm secretly hoping for tomorrow...because 8/8/8 would be a kick ass birthday).

As part of Cunards 175 year anniversary Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth & Queen Victoria visited Liverpool between 24th and 26th May 2015.
The three bridges. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. This amazing piece if engineering combines a road bridge (where the photo has been taken from) over a canal, which is going over the railway... In Hanwell, near Ealing.
The Hanwell flight of six locks raises the Grand Union Canal by just over 53 feet (16.2 m) and has been designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument by English Heritage.[13] At the top of the flight of locks towards Norwood Green is the Three Bridges designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It is still often referred to locally as simply Windmill Bridge and is very close to the spot where the eponymous windmill once stood; attracting the attention of a local Brentford artist named Joseph Mallard William Turner. These are actually within the boundary of Southall but are named after the local village of Hanwell, which is much closer than either of the villages of Norwood or Southall.
Three Magnificent Frigatebirds over Fort Jeffesrson, Garden Key, Dry Tortugas National Park
This species feeds mainly on fish, and also attacks other seabirds to force them to disgorge their meals. Frigatebirds never land on water, and always take their food items in flight. (Wikipedia)

I included a ball in the middle of the edges of the octahedra where 2 of them intersect at right angles. But the point where 3 of them intersect I had to get around, so the red one is distorted inwards, and the grey one distorted outwards. I'm still working on a way around this.
This is one of three submissions to the Historic Flight Foundation's 2012 Calendar that I made - released now that the submission time has expired. Without a doubt, my favourite picture of my submissions. Can one just imagine being in World War II, on the ground and all the sudden this is coming at you, machine guns & cannons about to break the red covering and shoot?
Probably not.
That said, large size if you'd like. Enjoy!

Wuhou Shrine (which I usually mistakenly call “Wuhou Temple,” though I think I’ve seen signage to that effect) is an interesting museum to literature/history. I call it a temple because it feels like a temple. As it’s not religious, though, it’s just a shrine.
So, what is it a shrine to? The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. That book (along with Dream of Red Mansions) is one of the most famous and most important of ancient Chinese literature. I’m ashamed to say I haven’t read either yet, though. Having said that, the following summary is a mashup of signage around the grounds and Lonely Planet China (2011).
Directly from LP: “Surrounded by gardens with mossy cypresses draped over walkways, this temple honors several figures from the Three Kingdoms period, including Emperor Liu Bei and legendary military strategist Zhuge Liang, who was immortalized in one of the classics of Chinese literature – Romance of the Three Kingdoms (San Guo Yanyi).”
And from signage near the entrance to the museum: “Wuhou Shrine of Chengdu, the largest museum (140,000 square meters) for the history of Three Kingdoms, displays about 50 life-size statues of the administrating staff from the monarchic Kingdom of Shu and preserves some ancient buildings, of which some were renovated in 1672 AD. As early as in Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, the honorable and reputable shrine was a tourist destination.”
In my experience from what I’ve seen here and around China and South Korea, I’ll say the following things…
1. Wuhou Shrine feels as much like any religious temple as any Confucian Temple. (Since Confucianism isn’t really a religion, I don’t know why those are called temples and this isn’t.)
2.It’s very well-maintained and has a very parklike quality to its visit, which makes this one of the nicer places to spend time in Chengdu.
3.It’s impressive that a museum to history/literature is this…extensive. And this old. If the signage is accurate, the Tang Dynasty ended in 907 AD, if memory serves me right which makes this museum – in this location – over 1,000 years old. I think “impressive” is a huge understatement.
4.Like anything that old, it’s so hard to know what’s original, what’s renovated. I think it’s safe to assume every one of the buildings has been renovated. (If 1672 was the last renovation, I would be impressed, but since all of them have electricity…hard to believe that.) But what about the landscaping? How much of that is original? Those sorts of questions are curious to me.
5.Speaking of original, there is a burial mound for Liu Bei. It is 12 meters tall and encompassed by a 180-meter long wall. According to official Three Kingdoms records, Liu Bei died in 223 AD and was buried here (later joined by his two wives, Madam Gan and Madam Wu). However, I swear that I’ve read elsewhere that it’s inconclusive that Liu Bei is actually buried here. Whether he is or not, this is an impressive mound.
6.My final comment about Wuhou Shrine is that it’s just a beautiful park – especially in spring – with magnolias in bloom. (This first posting will highlight that; it’s from mid-March 2015. I’ll eventually have two subsequent Wuhou shoots to join this first group.)
As always, please feel free to leave questions or comments. I hope you enjoy the pictures and descriptions.

Despite the presence of two safety vessels - a pilot boat, probably from Montrose; and Lifeboat 47 - 021, possibly RNLB The Famous Grouse, the Arbroath fishing boat appears not to be in peril. The Lifeboat is scudding along, the pilot boat is making a bit of headway, but there is no bow-wash in front of AH34. The print is dated 17.11.95, which would be the Herald issue date. Any suggestions?

Certainly all of the children were enjoying themselves on this large inflatable slide at Mega Mela - not least when three can go at once and really have fun!
August 1. Monday. Maddie's house and cross country.
First day of cross country.
It's going to be a good season, I think.
Even if I am so way beyond out of shape.
So much fun with Maddie, Grant, and Rj tonight.
I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe and almost had an asthma attack.
Some other stuff was confusing beyond belief, but that's life.
