“If beautiful lilies bloom in ugly waters, you too can blossom in ugly situations.” -Matshona Dhliwayo
It was love at first sight when I saw this notebook. Besides having my favorite color combo on it (sage & orange) and being able to personalize it, I love the sentiment behind it.
This year was a struggle for me in several ways, but I also feel Ike I did bloom and find my calm amongst those storms. After all, life isn’t about what you’ve lost, but what you have left. I have so much to be thankful for and appreciate all of it that much more because of the hard times.

Other than bees, we've had few little winged creatures in the garden up until now. But that changed this weekend, whether due to the intense heat of the past week or some other factor - the gardens were filled with all varieties of butterflies, hummingbird moths and dragonflies. I think this is a Thistle Butterfly, anyone know for sure?
The snow is deep - the days are getting shorter - and after daytime chores are done - it is time to curl up with my e-reader and catch up on my latest "who-done-it."
My fleecy throw is handy - and I love sitting on a sheepskin cushion. (So comfy and with added health benefits as well.)
On my end table a warm beverage and a couple of cookies are always at hand.
It looks like I am easing into winter quite comfortably.

TOYS in a square format .
Well as for the subject , not too much scope here for toys - yes there are dozens of dollies and teddies ( mostly made by my wife ) , but they are more collectables rather than play things and they have figured in in number of previous SSC shots . Hang on though , a board game is squirreled away somewhere and that can create a number of different toys !!
Great !! But have you tried filling a Scrabble board with words of a single subject ? With all the letter tiles at your disposal you very quickly find that your choices become very limited - both from getting the layout correct and the fact that certain letters VERY quickly run out !!
So here is my Scrabble board made up of various toys old and new with many choices absent due to lack of the right letters .The shot was taken outside on the garden table ( hence the strong shadows ) , a quickly taken 3 or 4 shots in less than five minutes - Job done , pity though it took best part of FIVE HOURS over two afternoons to fill the board to what you see above !!
With that in mind , for sight & sound a chance for a bit of Prog albeit rather short compared to some tracks of this genre --
the aptly titled Yes track
Time And A Word .
"I'll be about my business for a couple of hours, sweetie. That dunce cap had better still be on your head when I open this door again....or we'll just have to start over." 😵
Time to sum up another year :)
Been a bit less productive this year...about half of what I usually build. Life sort of took over a bit, but still managed to make quite a few builds that I really enjoyed. And got quite a few more that I haven´t taken pictures of yet, so more to come ;)
Anyways, I did have a lot of fun this year and as usual really enjoyed participating in some of the great contests and challenges that this beautiful community offers. A huge thanks to all of you that commented, faved and blogged about my builds, I really appreciate it!
Hopefully I´ll get more done in 2026, so stay tuned :)
It is time to enter the photo/art contest! Deadline is May 5. The theme of this year’s PUDDLE is The Clock Strikes Twelve / steampunk. Your entry does not have to reflect “steampunk” specifically. If your entry shows a clock, a gear, the number 12, or 12 of anything, or if features the colors red, brown, and/or gold/yellow, it will be in theme. Details here:

Autumn is outside the window in this shot from housing at the Moffat Tunnel. I included the colors outside the window for this shot. When it gets difficult to put in a decent day's work, it's time to reboot. Maybe the mountain pack rats got to his boots while he was sleeping. Have you seen the size of the pack rats up here at the divide? A military retinue posted atop Pikes Peak in the past noted the size of the rats that carried pieces of concrete away! Sheesh! I've been walkin' on the railroad; Just to pass the time away. All while waiting for the horn to blow. I love the autumn colors of the grasses and shrubs outside. Winter's on the way, it's time to reglaze!
This is in a company house near the Moffat Tunnel. eDDie and I rifled through some of the old D&RGW housing. I stuck my found boot in several windows. The view from the missing window shouts the season. The work force that operated the station - agents, telegraphers, electricians, curtain operators and other maintenance workers for the East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel had short walks to work and that hardly accounts for the wear on this boot. Maybe they walked all the way to the "Crossroads" and back. This housing is as tenuous as this boot. Boy, I bet these houses were dandy spots to sleep when the D&RGW Mallets were pounding their way up grade! Have you seen the size of the low pressure cylinders on the fronts of those Mallets? This shows the color on our second trip up to the Moffat.

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
Nap time after some playing with his favourite ball. Cooper just loves this ball. Can withstand cold, rain, sleet, it's practically indestructible. When he feels neglected and wants to play, he will bring it to me, drop it and wag his tail.

.......................
يبدأ الزمن ببدء الحياة ..
قيدا غير مرئي يتنفس بولادة الشمس .. ثم يمضي بلا توقف .. بمجرد ملازمة الأرض قسريا لها ..
دوران يومي مقلق يجعلنا نرى شمسا تدور بشكل وهمي من حولنا .. من شرقها إلى غربها ..
في الوقت الذي ندور فيه نحن من حولها ..
كي نصبح نحن الذين نحرك دولاب الزمن
أو .. نحن الذين نتحرك معه كفئران في عجلات .. نخترع الساعات و نمشي وفق فتافيتها التي تتناولنا يوميا ... حتى ننتهي .. فنفنى .. فننتقل .
.........
للزمن محددان أساسيان .. الشمس و الموت .
الشمس تعطيه تعريفه الفيزيائي الواضح .. بدورانها تتحدد القيم و التفاصيل الدقيقة .. و بتحديدها تنكشف كل عوامل تعريف المسافة و السرعة ..
أما الموت فيمنح الزمن قيمته الفلسفية .. بحدوثه يتم الانتقال من المفهوم الزمني إلى المفهوم اللازمني .. و السفر من المنطقة المقيدة اللاأبدية إلى الفراغ الأبدي الأزلي الذي لا يحتاج إلى تحديد فيزيائي يعرف المفهوم الزمني و لا يضطر إلى ربط السرعة و المسافة ..
حيث تصبح المسافة اتساعا .. و السرعة انتقالا .. و الزمن هو مجرد لا شيء ..
.............
يبدأ الزمن في لحظة ما .. و لن ينتهي إلا في أجله المعلوم بالنسبة إلى خالقه فقط
..........
الزمن لا ينتظر ... لا يرتبط .. لا يتعاطف .. و لا يرحم .. لكنه يركض بخطى ثابتة و مزعجة .. لا تتنازل عن سرعتها المحددة رغم ضخامة الأحداث و اضطراب الكوكب ..
و من الممكن جدا أن يمضي الزمن بعيدا عن مفهوم العدالة ..
..........
كل شيء خاضع للمفهوم الزمني هو فان حتما .
و كل ما مر الزمن من فوقه أو من تحته أو من خلاله .. خاضع للتغير و التبدل .. و ثباته هو أمر معدوم .
..........
الزمن وهم اخترعَنا فاخترعْناه ...
اخْتُرِعَ لنا فربطناه حول رقابنا ..
و اخترعْنا تفاصيله .. فقيدَنا ..
..........
كل ما قيد بزمن .. جُهِّزَ ليصبح تربة للامتحان .. و رهنا بحسن إدارة الوقت و حسن العمل
..........
ينتهي الزمن بإيعاز غريب .. يقلب كل المفاهيم الزمنية و يسخر من ثبات اتجاه العقارب ..
تتغير فكرة الدوران الثابتة .. و تعكس الأرض دورانها .. و تجد الشمس _ محدد الزمن الأول_ نفسها لأول مرة في مفهوم جديد فوق الأرض ..
تظهر من غربها الذي حدده لها خالقها منذ بداية الكون .. فتعكس كل الترتيب الزمني الأرضي ..
و يصبح الغرب شرقا .. و يمسي الشرق غربا
و إذ ذاك سيصبح كل سكان الغرب دفعة واحدة ... هم الشرقيون ..
و سيمسي كل سكان الشرق .. ببساطة ... هم الغربيون ..
..........
سينتهي الزمن في يوم ما ..
سيتوقف .. و سيصبح العالم أبديا ..
و العالم الأبدي لا قيود تحد مروره .. إذ لا شعور فيه بمطرقة لحظية تتدخل فيها الثواني و يحكمها قيد التراكم الزمني .
العالم الأبدي لا حاجة فيه للموت _ محدد الزمن الثاني _ إذ لا حاجة فيه للانتقال ..
من دخل منظومة الأبدية .. لن يعود مرة أخرى للانتقال إلى مفهوم الفناء ..
و لن يعود خاضعا إلى المفهوم الزمني ..
و لا مربوطا بفتافيت الوقت ..
و لا مقيـــــــــــدا ..
بعجـــــــلات الزمــــــن .
